A new law gives ownership of patents—documents providing exclusive right to make and sell an invention—to universities, not the government, when those patents result from government-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 administrators' plan described above?
93. A new law gives ownership of patents-documents providing exclusive right to make and sell an invention-to universities, not the government, when those patents result from government-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 administrators' plan described above?
(A)  rofit-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.
(C) Research scientists at Logos University have few or no teaching responsibilities and participate little if at all in the undergraduate programs in their field.
(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.
想请教一下,这个题目如果用LAWYER的逻辑来推,就是充分必要型削弱:文章是if A ,then B,如果卖掉专利,就会获得资金。削弱应该是,if A,then B 不一定成立,可是正确答案D选项说的是,企业已经获得这样的专利,意思就是,企业不会买,那么这样也算使B不成立吗?
to sell any patents they acquire to corporations in order to fund programs to improve undergraduate teaching
1。 要sell patents to corporations 2. 要use the money to fund
(A)  rofit-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. (administrator不是要corporation 的support, 他只是要卖patents而已)
(B) Corporate sponsors of research in university facilities are entitled to tax credits under new federal tax-code guidelines. (没提到任何tax credits的咚咚,所以没关系)
(C) Research scientists at Logos University have few or no teaching responsibilities and participate little if at all in the undergraduate programs in their field. (跟research scientist 没关系,只是要钱钱而已)
(D) Government-sponsored research conducted at Logos University for the most part duplicates research already completed by several profit-making corporations. (如果是这样,corporate 买patents的可能性就很少了,所以会证明administrator's plan won't work)
(E) Logos University is unlikely to attract corporate sponsorship of its scientific research. (administrator 没考虑关于research的事。只关心patents acquired)
