Webinar
Wilson Sonsini is pleased to collaborate with Biocom California to present, Navigating The Bayh-Dole Act with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Law Firm on Thursday, February 15th at 2:00pm PST.
The Bayh-Dole Act underpins a significant amount of innovation in California and across the United States, especially in the life sciences. As the Act is increasingly under scrutiny, it is more important than ever to understand the law and the obligations for companies aiming to partner on federally funded projects. In this webinar we will discuss the Bayh-Dole Act, the obligations associated with receipt of federal funding, the impact of federal funding on patent rights, and provide a forum for Biocom California members to ask experts questions about Bayh-Dole. Alicia Umpierre and Katharine Ku will present on behalf of the firm.
