The Legal Background. The Xxxx-Xxxx Act imposes its requirements on a “subject invention” - an invention which is “first conceived or reduced to practice in the performance of work under a funding agreement [any agreement with a federal agency for research work].” • Under the Act, the Institute must: o report a subject invention promptly to the federal government; o either retain title to a subject invention or turn it over to the government (and no one else); and o provide a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to the subject invention to the U.S. for government use. • The Institute cannot assign title to “subject inventions” developed under federally sponsored projects to a third party such as an industry sponsor. • Use of the broad phrase “conceived or reduced to practice” suggests that a broad interpretation of when a “subject invention” has been developed must be assumed, and therefore, any non-federal project that is (a) either concurrent with or before or after a federal project, and (b) has a Statement of Work which covers the same or similar invention or technology, should also be considered to be encompassed by the Act. • If the non-federal project(s), although closely related, falls outside the planned and committed activities of a government-funded project and does not diminish or distract from the performance of such activities, inventions made in performance of the non- federally sponsored project are not subject to the Act. • An example of this type of related projects which do not implicate Xxxx-Xxxx concerns would be a federally sponsored project having research objectives to expand scientific understanding in a field and a closely related industry sponsored project having as its objectives the application of such new knowledge to develop usable new technology. • The fact that an invention has been developed with the aid of an item of equipment purchased with federal funds does not, standing alone, implicate the requirements of the Act.
