From the Paper:

"Research at universities is becoming a complex issue on many fronts because of the variety of sources of funding, both governmental and private, and the questions of ownership of the results of such research. Although medical issues have gained much of the public spotlight where the question of the validity of test results on drugs has been questioned, recently, in light of the heavy involvement of the pharmaceutical industry in funding research, many other legal issues arise."
