After years of UAEM campaigning, 6 universities, AUTM and NIH have agreed to access principles for licensing and patenting. While we are enthusiastic about the adoption of these principles and while the authors deserve praise for taking this important step, the document has important shortcomings, noted below. UAEM sees this document as a floor for future policies rather than a ceiling and we hope that other universities will go further still. We look forward to working with signatories to the document to ensure effective implementation and improvements in the months and years to come.
