Can a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), organization funding research
transfer title to patents in discoveries from that research to an
affiliated for-profit entity without jepardizing their not-for-profit
status?  Alternatively, is it acceptable for a 501(c)(3) organization
to enable an affiliated for-profit entity to have advanced knowlege of
research discoveries in order for the for-profit entity to file patent
applications prior to publication of the research?
