The Myth of Data Rights
Abstract
Before we answer these questions, a review of history is in order. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. Government was leading in research and development (R and D) spending. The government spent between 60 percent and 70 percent of the national R and D expenditures. Most of these expenditures focused on landing a man on the moon. President Kennedy stated that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth. In those days, the U.S. Government held all of the IP cards. The government owned a majority of the IP on space exploration and was able to use it as was required. After the nation landed a man on the moon, the national R and D spending gradually was reduced.
