And now for a real answer.
No and Yes. Take NASA, the US Space Program, and ARPA and DARPA. The last two are “advanced research projects agency” and “defense advanced..”. All of those, and likely more, are R&D – based agencies.
For example, NASA gave us Tang, for example. ARPA gave is the internet. One of the NASA computer systems (NASA RECON) gave us the idea of computer-based indexes for research. And so on and so forth.
My understanding is that if the US does research, it cannot profit from it or license it – it becomes public domain. So companies can use NASA research (again, the example is Tang) and never pay a cent for it.
This is UNLIKE stats and state university research. Take the drug WARFARIN (it is a blood thinner). The WARF in in WARFARIN stands for “Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation” and they get a royalty for every pill sold.
