OG11-93 (黄皮) 请教

93, A new law gives ownership of patents - documents providing exclusive right to make and sell an invention - to univeristies, not the government, when those patents result from govenment-sponsored university research. Administrators at Logos University plan to sell any patents they acquire to corporations in order to fund programs to improve undergraduate teaching.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the viability of the college administrator's plan described above?

A. Profit-making corporations interested in developing products based on patents held by universities are likely to try to serve as exclusive sponsors of ongoing university research projects.

B. Corporate sponsors of research in university facilities are entitled to tax credits under new federal tax code guidelines.

D. Government-sponsored research conducted at Logos University for the most part duplicates research already completed by several profit-making corporations.

E. Logos University is unlikely to attract corporate sponsorship of its scientific research.

正确答案为D. 但我认为D中conducted仅仅说明了学校过去做的研究，这并不能代表学校未来做的研究也是重复的，没人买的。这难道不是问题么？

没做过这道题。但是我觉得D里的时态应该不是问题，原因是整个题目都在讨论一件事情而不是长远的将来。Logos University准备卖的也是他们即将根据新的法律而获得的那一批专利（既然已经成专利了当然表示其研究已经在过去发生）。问题问的其实也是有什么事实可能导致Logos University卖不掉这一批专利。

个人见解仅供参考。
