The NIH’s View of Bayh-Dole Compliance, 7
We have come full circle through NIH’s garbled version of Bayh-Dole, having been referred by the NIH’s SBIR guidance back to the NIH’s policy manual regarblization of Bayh-Dole in section 8.2.4. Section 8.2 has a bunch of data and research … Continue reading

The NIH’s View of Bayh-Dole Compliance, 6
Research Enterprise has been examining the NIH’s representation of Bayh-Dole. So far we have seen that the NIH persists in citing a 1995 document that gives “guidance” that the Supreme Court in Stanford v Roche (2011) rejected. But the NIH … Continue reading
The NIH’s View of Bayh-Dole Compliance, 5
We are working NIH’s not so tasty guidance to participants in its SBIR and STTR programs directed at small businesses. We reach the NIH’s account of the “principal features” of Bayh-Dole, at least with regard to “intellectual property” requirements: Principal … Continue reading

What has NIST done, actually?-1
NIST has made an attempt to turn Bayh-Dole into a vesting statute. From all appearances, that is what a casual reader would think has happened with NIST’s new subject invention assignment language. With help from inept (if not complicit) university … Continue reading

NIST’s Chief Counsel on Bayh-Dole, 5
Unlike the other various fakographics and misguidances and misrepresentations of Bayh-Dole that we have reviewed, this slide deck by NIST’s chief counsel is distinctive, since NIST has primary responsibility for Bayh-Dole’s implementation and patent rights clauses. Thus, a failure to … Continue reading

NIST’s Chief Counsel on Bayh-Dole, 4
One last slide from NIST’s chief counsel’s talk from 2013. Much to discuss. How to unwind this assertion? The Bayh-Dole Act requires federal agencies to use an arbitrary default patent rights clause. In the absence of Bayh-Dole, executive branch patent … Continue reading

NIST’s Chief Counsel on Bayh-Dole, 3
NIST’s chief counsel gives, let us say, a unhelpful representation of the law. Let’s continue with his second slide titled “Bayh-Dole Highlights.” The government does not “retain” a license. The government is entitled to receive that license. The law uses … Continue reading

NIST’s Chief Counsel on Bayh-Dole, 2
As further evidence that NIST’s chief counsel does not properly describe Bayh-Dole, consider this point in his first slide of Bayh-Dole “highlights”: This point is accurate only in an obscure technical sense. Bayh-Dole does not preclude a contractor, having obtained … Continue reading

NIST’s Chief Counsel on Bayh-Dole, 1
In 2011, the Supreme Court provided a clear interpretation of the Bayh-Dole Act in Stanford v Roche. Bayh-Dole applies only to subject inventions. A subject invention is a patentable invention made in work funded by the federal government and owned … Continue reading

Guide to Bayh-Dole by the Layers, 1
[4/30/18: fixed an editing artifact, bringing together text on “housekeeping” into a single section where it belongs] A helpful way to look at Bayh-Dole is as a set of layers of law, regulation, contracting, enforcement, and outcomes. There are at … Continue reading
