WATCH: "What do flatscreen TVs, Honeycrisp apples, and Google search engine have in common?" If you haven't seen it, our 2-minute explainer video on the Bayh-Dole Act is the perfect way to learn all about the history, significance, and ongoing impact of this bipartisan law. For nearly 45 years, American innovation has excelled under the Bayh-Dole system. Today and always, it's crucial for lawmakers to uphold Bayh-Dole and protect our flourishing innovation ecosystem -- not hinder it by undoing years of success.

READ: Kathy Ku, former executive director of the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing (OTL), recently published an article in The EdUp Experience talking about what she learned over the course of her exciting career in tech transfer. "Bayh-Dole allowed universities that received federal research funds to keep their intellectual property, a simple-sounding reform with a huge impact. We knew this gave us an enormous opportunity to turn academic innovations into real-world products -- not just to maximize profit but to benefit the public."   "[T]here's no quick formula for success. The passage of Bayh-Dole was a crucial starting point, but ultimately the tech-transfer process requires resourcefulness, hard work, and a willingness to take chances." "In both my current and earlier roles, I've witnessed how central a tech transfer office can be to helping a university further its mission. Academics do tremendous work conducting basic science, discovering the fundamental physical realities of our world. But by transferring some of those discoveries to outside developers, universities can also do more. They can fund more research, and make sure that those breakthroughs go on to benefit society at large."
