From page 6...
... Over the last two decades university-industry collaboration has grown considerably. One impetus has been the Patent andTrademark Laws Amendments of 1980 and subsequent revisions, commonly referred to as the BayhDole Act, which rationalized and simplified federal policy on patenting and licensing by non-profit institutions ofthe results of publicly funded research.6 Most significantly, Bayh-Dole granted control to universities of most proprietary rights emerging from federally sponsored research.
From page 7...
... Several university participants responded that their institutions are doing their best to manage technology transfer activities in ways that maximize the public benefit.They see the approaches of some companies and other funding entities in the intellectual property rights area, such as the pursuit of extensive rights to university background research developed outside the collaboration, as stumbling blocks. The barriers raised by complex proprietary concerns, and possible solutions, are discussed further in Chapter 3.
