Comment on Insulin
squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 days agoTbh, I am surprised that you seem to know the exact legal situation in regards to patent law in Canada of 1923, and that you have such a strong opinion on that matter.
I would recommend you to read the corresponding Wikipedia secton where all the thinking that went into that decision is laid out quite well.
I would venture to say that legal experts of the time at the time understood the patent law of the time a little better than some random users on Lemmy.

You were arguing just as vehemently about this, with just as much certainty, before that comment, which weirdly just happened to appear when you ran out of arguements.
Just a weird, coincidence I’m sure.

I did not run out of arguments, I posted a contemporary source that said everything I talked about all along.

You posted a link to a Wikipedia paragraph that doesn’t mention the arguments you made and just called a “contemporary source”. I can’t take you seriously anymore, you’re arguing on the level of aC- high school student.

You haven’t provided any sources at all, you just ignored anything I said. So go, your turn. Post a source that says that transferring the patent to the university in 1923 was the wrong decision.
If you know better than the lawyers they consulted back then, prove it. Back it up with something more than just made-up hot air.
