    Furthermore, most university technology transfer officerswho have different motivations from individual researchers-are not focused on increasing public access to public-sector inventions. A recent study found that "university technology transfer activities continue to be predominately patent-centric and revenue-driven with a single-minded focus on generating licensing income and obtaining reimbursement for legal expenses. " Current Bayh-Dole patenting and licensing practices have thus been criticized for creating unnecessary increases in consumer prices and for creating patent hold-ups and a patent "anticommons." The access-oriented goals of the Bayh-Dole Act would be fulfilled best if universities and other recipients of federal research…

    Epipen Case Study

    It is estimated that there are currently 43 million Americans at risk of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction (“Mylan’s Commitment,” 2016). The majority of these people are in constant possession of an EpiPen, an auto-injector containing epinephrine used to reverse anaphylaxis (“Anaphylaxis,” 2016). However, in recent years the price of the EpiPen has increased substantially; a two-pack currently costs $609 (Pollack, 2016). Because Mylan commands around 85 percent of the epinephrine auto-injector market, almost all of those at risk have been affected (Herrick, 2016: 2).

    The Importance Of Opportunity Cost In Healthcare

    Ganiats, MD, and Jennifer A. Kempster, MPhil describes the scenario in a patient’s visit to a health care provider and the use of clinical guidelines for treatment options. The authors are suggesting that it is not possible to follow the multitude of guidelines with the time constraints place upon medical care providers without opportunity costs to patients and providers. Thousands of clinical care guidelines are continually created, updated, and stored in national databases. These guidelines, based on research findings and expert opinions, are suggestions for management of specific diseases, disease groups or health risks (Theodore G. Ganiats & Jennifer A. Kempster, 2014). In an ideal world, all guidelines necessary to a patient’s health would be followed, but this requires the expenditure of care and resources, including the use of time by both the patient and provider (Theodore G. Ganiats & Jennifer A. Kempster, 2014).…
