CRADA private-sector partners would retain patent ownership under planned legislation from Rep. Morella.
Executive Summary
CRADA PRIVATE-SECTOR PARTIES WOULD RETAIN PATENT OWNERSHIP rather than a license to intellectual property developed via Cooperative Research & Development Agreement under legislation being developed by Rep. Morella (R-Md.). Currently, the National Institutes of Health Office of Technology Transfer grants exclusive, non-exclusive or partially exclusive licenses to CRADA private-sector partners.
