BayhDole25 Stanford vs. Roche Amicus Brief Highlights Importance of Bayh-Dole to U.S. Economic Growth

On December 23, 2010, BayhDole25 filed an Amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States related to the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University vs. Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., et al., (Stanford vs. Roche), currently pending. The case raises critical questions about the appropriate division of Intellectual Property rights relating to federally funded research under the Bayh-Dole Act, where the lower court decision, if not reversed, could chill academic–industry research cooperation and reduce the overall effectiveness of federally funded research, harming job growth and U.S. global competitiveness.
