...equivalent of saying that Grand Union will never build another store because A. & P. will build one across the street. It is likely that a patent in the public domain will speed up the time lag between invention and widespread use, by rewarding the firm that produces the product first...
...true that many inventions will not have an obvious application, and that firms will not take the risk of developing the product without patent protection. The CRIMSON, however, failed to point out that President Kennedy's memorandum in 1963 specifically directed the federal agencies to grant patents to the inventor where exclusive ownership was necessary incentive to call forth risk capital to bring the invention to the point of practical application.

Yet, unlike the Korea war, which hit when the U.S. still had plenty of production slack and more than 5% unemployment, the Viet Nam war is an added burden on a substantially full-employment, full-production economy that has been expanding for 51 years...
