Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2018-012, Rights to Federally Funded Inventions and Licensing of Government-Owned Inventions 
Abstract:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR to implement the changes to 37 CFR parts 401 and 404, "Rights to Federally Funded Inventions and Licensing of Government-Owned Inventions," dated May 14, 2018. The changes reduce regulatory burdens, provide greater clarity to large businesses by codifying the applicability of Bayh-Dole as directed in Executive Order 12591, and provide greater clarity to all Federal funding recipients by updating regulatory provisions to align with provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act in terms of definitions and timeframes.
