It was little more than a month ago when the Biden Administration unleashed its draft guidelines for applying the march-in provisions of the Bayh-Dole Act.
Today, a letter signed by a coalition of top academics opposing the Biden Administration’s efforts to exercise march-in rights under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 was sent to the White House.
The Bayh-Dole Coalition yesterday submitted comments to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) asking the agency to withdraw the recently published Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights.
Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE) have introduced a bill to study the inefficiencies in the reporting system required under the Bayh-Dole Act, with an eye toward streamlining processes.
