We are working through Niels Reimers’s op/ed in the Mercury News, published last April (2021) and now being used by the Bayh-Dole Coalition, a lobbying organization backed by a number of universities and front groups, to try to prevent Bayh-Dole’s … Continue reading

Undermining Bayh-Dole by relying on it? 2
