Fraunhofer has a ton of top of the line innovations. I'm glad it exists. If the only way to exist is for them to collect on patents they've produced, I don't see the issue.

No quite the opposite.

A critic ones put this: Fraunhofer has the same of employees as Eth Zurich but just 20% of the start ups.

There are better institutions for deep tech like Sprind and even max Planck institutes.

I'd gladly take every Fraunhofer "innovation" 5 years later if it meant Fraunhofer didn't exist. Compression patent extortionists are the scum of the earth.

  • Who said only 5 years? How does that change if it's 20 years? Or never?
