Many ideas have emerged from government, industry and academia regarding how best to inspire and support innovation. But nothing spurs creativity and innovation more than a combination of incentive and challenge: a reward for achievement, combined with the urgency of a dare to succeed and the reality that we must race against others. We are at our best when we compete.

  9. The Supreme Court looks at gene patents, worries about biotech

    When the Supreme Court took up the question Monday of <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-supreme-court-patents-human-genes-20130415,0,2991661.story">whether genes could be patented</a>, the justices were clearly concerned about preserving innovation in medicine and biotechnology.
