尽管专利可以防止未经授权的使用并促进进一步的技术发展，但一些研究人员担心专利弊大于利。据说，专利控制着技术，限制了其进入商业领域和在商业领域的发展。此外，据称专利干扰了新信息和思想的学术交流。最后，神经科学似乎很难申请专利，这可能会使神经科学家无法分享专利带来的好处。对于进行基础研究的学术科学家来说，这些担忧是合理的。在这里，我简要阐述这些问题，试图揭开专利流程和技术管理的神秘面纱。
Although patents protect against unauthorized uses and promote further technological developments, some researchers are concerned that patenting does more harm than good. Patents, it is said, control technology, limiting its movement into and development by the commercial arena. Furthermore, patents allegedly interfere with collegial exchange of new information and ideas. Finally, neuroscience seems to be difficult to patent, which may exclude neuroscientists from sharing in patentderived benefits. For academic scientists who conduct basic research, these are valid concerns. Here I briefly address these issues in an attempt to demystify the patent process and technology management.
