The goal of innovative basic applied research is the award of patents for products and processes. Patents protect the exclusive use of these products and processes. Because of the high cost of research, it is important for governments to stimulate the creativity of researchers and provide economic incentives for them to develop patentable intellectual property. In the United States, an exchange program exists between the academic researchers and industry. This easy exchange of ideas is not adequately supported in Europe, especially in Italy. To further hinder researchers, the European Union has not yet passed legislation on patents.
