<p class="heading2">Purpose</p>
|
|
<p>This Guide Notice summarizes the new 2018 policy requirements and the amendments to the regulations that implement the Bayh-Dole Act.</p>
|
|
<h4>BACKGROUND</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Recipients of NIH funded research awards are required to report all inventions that result from NIH funded projects. See the Bayh-Dole Act at 35 U.S.C. 200-212 (<a href="https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/USCODE-2011-title35/USCODE-2011-title35-partII-chap18-sec200/content-detail.html">https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/USCODE-2011-title35/USCODE-2011-title35-partII-chap18-sec200/content-detail.html</a> ) and the implementing regulations at 37 C.F.R. 401: <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/04/13/2018-07532/rights-to-federally-funded-inventions-and-licensing-of-government-owned-inventions">https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/04/13/2018-07532/rights-to-federally-funded-inventions-and-licensing-of-government-owned-inventions</a> </p>
|
|
<p>The Bayh-Dole Act permits all funding recipients i.e., universities, nonprofit research institutions, and large and small businesses to retain ownership of the inventions made under federally funded research grants or contract programs, while also giving the government a license to practice the Subject Invention. In return for retaining ownership, funding recipients are required to pursue the invention to practical application, such as by licensing the invention under reasonable terms for the benefit of public health whether the invention is patented or treated as an unpatented biological material or research tool.</p>
|
|
<h4>IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Effective October 1, 2018, NIH will implement the new final regulations of the Bayh-Dole Act. The new regulations will apply to all NIH new (including renewals) and continuation awards beginning on or after October 1, 2018. </p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>NEW POLICY REQUIREMENTS </h4>

|

|
|
<li><strong>Government assignment to funding recipient of rights in invention of government employee - Federal agency</strong> employing such co-inventor, in consultation with the recipient, <strong>may submit an initial patent application</strong>, provided that the recipient retains the right to elect to retain title. 37 C.F.R. 401.10(a)(2)</li>

|
|
<li>Requires the funding recipient <strong>by written agreement</strong> to obtain an assignment from its <strong>researchers of the entire right, title and interest in and to each subject invention made under a funding award</strong> and to execute all papers necessary to file patent applications and establish the government’s rights in an invention. 37 C.F.R.401.14(f)(2)</li>
