Talk:Research exemption

Research exemption not the same as 35 USC 271(e)(1) 'safe harbor'
There is a difference between the "research exemption" and the Safe Harbor under 271(e)(1). The Supreme Court did not address whether there is a "research exemption" in Merck v. Integra, so it is not correct to put the two together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.110.195.114 (talk • contribs)


 * I entirely agree with the previous comment. The two bases of defence have different origins and different scope.  The main article proceeds from a misconception.  But it's hardly practical to give a good careful account of this without the thing being out of order as including OR.  There's a similar dichotomy in the laws of some other countries outside the US, too.  I can't see a prospect of getting this subject into good shape here. Terry0051 (talk) 23:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
