Resolution

This was a case, in the same vein as the Purdue/Badylak and UGA/Kaswan cases, where the university took aim at their inventor. In the Kaswan and Badylak cases at least their respective universities pursued them in civil court and not all the way to jail.

Táborský was behind bars for a year and a half, four months of which were in a maximum security facility and two months of that on a chain gang. After his release in April 1997, Táborský continued to pursue overturn of his conviction saying he will “settle for nothing less than complete and total vindication.”

Now back in the Czech Republic, Petr Táborský has received his PhD and serves as a professor and researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Masaryk University.
