Partner and Registered Patent Attorney Maya Elbert will moderate the panel “Bayh-Dole Considerations When Licensing Federally Funded Technologies” at the LES Annual Meeting. Federal funding recipients and their licensees must comply with many requirements under the Bayh-Dole Act (including timely disclosure of federally funded inventions and steps to achieve practical application). The risks of noncompliance include loss of patent rights to such inventions or the government’s grant of licenses to third parties. This affects not only federal funding recipients and licensees, but also their investors, strategic partners, and acquirors. This workshop will discuss Bayh-Dole compliance practices, risks and risk mitigation strategies, diligence of IP originating from federally funded institutions, and the latest U.S. government policies and practices.
Partner Mark Potash will also be in attendance.
