Here are four reasons why American citizens—especially Evangelical conservatives—should consider Gorsuch’s confirmation a great victory and why he might be better even than Scalia, whose place on the bench he would take. 1.

To help overcome this technology transfer problem, Congress added a monetary incentive for the inventor. In the statute, Congress made it a requirement to give a percentage of the royalty that resulted from the licensing of the invention to the inventor for his personal and his laboratory’s benefit. By giving the inventor a share of the royalty for the licensing fees, Congress believed that this would incentivizes the inventor to help with the transfer of the technology.
