    ``New Study: Intellectual Property in the AAAS Community: A Descriptive Analysis of a Pilot Survey on the Effects of Patenting on Science

    ``Early in 2005, SIPPI undertook a survey of about 1,100 AAAS members to determine what effects patenting, if any, has had on research conducted by scientists in academia, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. Among its results, the survey found that by a suprising 2:1 margin, industry scientists reported having more difficulty in accessing patented technologies than academic scientists. However, this could be the result of the greater volume of intellectual property created by industry, as well as industry's heavy reliance on licensingâ??a process more sophisticated and time-consuming than the means used in academia for technology transfer.''
