About BayhDole25

BayhDole25 is a not-for-profit educational and research organization created to study the U.S. Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, as well as similar U.S. and international technology transfer legislation and related issues. BayhDole25 performs independent, non-partisan research projects and provides educational materials relating to technology transfer legislation and its role in the successful commercialization of science and technology through public-private partnership. BayhDole25 intends to improve the general understanding of the economic and social impact of technology transfer legislation in the United States and abroad that were inspired by the Bayh-Dole Act. BayhDole25 has a pending application for 501(C)(3) status.

BayhDole25 exists as both a way to look back at the first 25 years of implementation and inspiration and also to look forward to identify opportunities for the future and to overcome potential obstacles that hinder the potential benefits from scientific breakthroughs either in the United States or internationally.
