On the recordApril 17, 1997
I bring, I hope, to this discussion a different perspective. As many of the Members know, I am fortunate to have come from higher education, and there, though I do not speak for higher education, I have spoken extensively with the higher education community on this subject. They bring to us a perspective that is reflective of the inventor's community. We have solo practitioners, faculty members, and students who work on their own in the invention field, and we have those who work under contract with major international corporations. So we come from the higher education community with the perspective that includes all of the players that one would hope would be protected in this legislation that is before us. The higher education community has debated extensively about the proposals in H.R. 400, and we have stayed in contact with them throughout the time that I have been involved in this discussion as well.
