"Awake" does suppression of unfavorable research reports

One of the plotlines in the "Kate Is Enough" episode of Awake on March 22, 2012 involved a woman who was murdered because she wanted to disclose unfavorable research results of a small company, which disclosure would have damaged investment in said company. Two college friends had formed the company, one an inventor, one more business-oriented. The business guy masterminded the murder.

In the patent business, unfavorable results contrary to arguments made to the Patent Office must be disclosed to the Patent Office.
