Harvard Business Review's 10 Breakthrough Ideas for 2010: Innovation

#6 Innovation: A Faster Path from Lab to Market: Removing the technology licensing obstacle (by Litan and Mitchell).

The Breakthrough Idea: Simply amend the Bayh-Dole Act and allow professors to chose the technical help they need to bring their inventions to market as soon as possible.
