2900-AR64 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2900 Department of Veterans Affairs VA Inventions by VA employees

VA propose to amend its regulations regarding inventions by employees. In this rulemaking, we are changing the authority for making and issuing determination of rights related to inventions by VA employees from the Office of General Counsel to the Director of the VA Technology Transfer Program. This will establish a more efficient process in determining government rights to the inventions.
