Abstract
Arti Rai's article in the Fall 1999 issue of the Northwestern University Law Review explores the proper use of both legal rules and prescriptive norms to shape behavior in the basic biological research community. Rai's article builds upon the extensive work in this area by Rebecca Eisenberg, which first attained prominence through Eisenberg's article in the December 1987 issue of the Yale Law Journal. Eisenberg concludes that the use of patents in the area of basic biological research may frustrate central norms of the community. Rai prescribes concerted public and private action as the best tools for avoiding patents and the problems Eisenberg attributes to them. This essay responds to patent critics like Rai and Eisenberg by showing how patents are essential for promoting the central norms of the basic biological research community.
Arti Rai在1999年秋季出版的《西北大学法律评论》上的文章探讨了如何正确使用法律规则和规范来塑造基础生物研究界的行为。雷的文章建立在丽贝卡·艾森伯格在这一领域的广泛工作的基础上，艾森伯格在1987年12月出版的《耶鲁法律杂志》上的文章首次引起了人们的关注。艾森伯格的结论是，在基础生物学研究领域使用专利可能会阻碍社会的核心规范。Rai指出，公共和私人的协调行动是避免专利和艾森伯格认为专利带来的问题的最佳工具。这篇文章通过展示专利对于促进基础生物研究界的核心规范是如何必不可少的来回应像Rai和Eisenberg这样的专利批评者。
