OG12-90
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) 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.
(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.

这题选D


但是D选项里的 duplicate好别扭啊。专利不是不能复制吗？


A选项有疑惑。。 be likely to do是可能性很大的意思吗？ 如果是这个意思，应该也是削弱啊。
profit-making corporations对那些patent很感兴趣，这些patent最好是只有corporation独家赞助。所以，corporation对government-sponsored patent不感兴趣，那logos university就不能得到funds了。这不是削弱结论吗？？？ 为什么OG解释A时，是说irrelevant呢。请NN帮忙啊。。。 多谢多谢。




已经有个人开贴问了，但是没人解答啊。
elaineyll (ID: 463833)我选A，答案D. 觉得很疑惑：原文一开头就说了所谓patent，是documents providing exclusive right to make and sell an innovation的，怎么还能选D呢？patent能duplicate？那不是就不叫patent了吗

是选D。duplicate可以指重复。而且research duplicate完全合理啊。A也是削弱，但不如D强烈。

A is irrelevant. Government gives universities grant money, which is free. Even if the university sells the patent, the government would still give grant money to the university.

你好 谢谢回答。但是我还是不明白为什么duplicate合理啊？？
既然之前都做过了，为什么Logo university还要再做一遍research呢？？？而且再做一遍肯定不是专利啊？

A明白了。谢谢

你好解释的非常清楚。


但是D里面的duplicate...还是疑惑啊？？

sdcar2010

LZ you understanding of the word "duplicate" is right and you understanding of patent is right as well. If D is true, university would not acquire many patents. Thus, its plan to sell patent right in order to support its undergraduate teaching activities would not work. D is the correct answer.
