A friend of mine who is currently perusing his Master currently mentioned to me that, the Idea he submitted for his project has impressed his professors and the college is applying a patent on the idea.He was not completely willing to patent it,the reason being the compromise of the idea and a openness in sharing the idea. Today he received the news that the patent is shared with 2 other top level profs who have not helped him in any way. He is pissed now and wants to back out. What does HN say what is a wise decision in such a case?
