What is our mission

BayhDole25 is dedicated to providing educational resources on the Bayh Dole Act of 1980 and related legislation that revolutionized technology transfer through licensing of government-owned patent rights and other intellectual property. The Bayh Dole Act of 1980 jump started commercialization of formerly neglected federally funded research, providing high return on the taxpayer's investment in basic science and benefiting society as a whole through the actual creation of high-technology and biotechnology sectors.
