11 Aug Bayh-Dole Coalition Releases Statement on Department of Commerce Investigation of Harvard’s Bayh-Dole Compliance

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 11, 2025) — This morning, the Bayh-Dole Coalition released the following statement regarding the Department of Commerce’s investigation of Harvard’s compliance with the Bayh-Dole Act:

“The Bayh-Dole Act has improved and saved millions of lives while helping make the United States the world’s innovation leader. For more than 45 years, it has succeeded because it has been applied consistently and faithfully, giving government, universities, and the private sector the confidence to work together to turn federally funded research into real-world solutions. While the government has a duty to ensure compliance, that oversight must be grounded in the law’s requirements and applied evenly to preserve trust in the system.”
