Urge federal collaboration to protect innovation, product access
This bill is a non-binding resolution from the Ohio House of Representatives that urges federal agencies to implement policies in a way that supports innovation and product access. It highlights the importance of the Bayh-Dole Act, which allows private companies to license government-funded research for commercialization, and argues that this system should not be undermined by broad interpretations of "march-in rights." The text asserts that protecting intellectual property is essential for economic growth and that any government actions regarding product access must not discourage private investment in research. Ultimately, the resolution calls for collaboration between state and federal officials to ensure regulations foster a conducive environment for technological development without compromising the incentives for innovation.
