According to the Chicago Sun Times, the University of Wisconsin Alumni Foundation (the caretaker of the University's patents) is suing Intel for patent infringement (basically making money off of university research used in a product that has been profitable).
Interesting, the Alumni Foundation is the protector of patents. Used to be that Alumni Foundations kept alumni close to their alma mater and, in exchange, collected donations. And where exactly does business begin and research end -- or is that the question?

I also help nonprofit boards and staff figure out where they want their organization to be in the future and focus on the four columns of a nonprofit: program, management and operations, governance and sustainability.
