Or devise some novel features that would allow this marvelous invention to interoperate with existing software!
Then patent the combination and fuck them with it. >:D

This is a grey area under the EPC - research is allowed but commercial use is not.
Consider: If the invention is a measuring device used in a particular area of research then that doesn't mean you can rip off the invention and claim it is for research purposes.
Generally I'd say if you built the invention just so you can use it then that's commercial.
License: Research Purpose Only
Any patented invention can be used for research pupose!
To quote from wikipedia: A patent being an exclusionary right does not, however, necessarily give the owner of the patent the right to exploit the patent.[13] For example, many inventions are improvements of prior inventions that may still be covered by someone else's patent.[13] If an inventor takes an existing, patented mouse trap design, adds a new feature to make an improved mouse trap, and obtains a patent on the improvement, he or she can only legally build his or her improved mouse trap with permission from the patent holder of the original mouse trap, assuming the original patent is still in force. On the other hand, the owner of the improved mouse trap can exclude the original patent owner from using the improvement.
