This podcast features Kate Hudson, the Associate Vice President and Counsel for Policy at the Association of American Universities, and Joseph P. Allen, the Executive Director of the Bayh-Dole Coalition. They discuss the unintended consequences that the Biden Administration’s Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights in the Bayh-Dole Act is having on small companies and VCs inside and outside of the biopharmaceutical sector.  As well, they detail how well-funded advocacy groups had promoted the use of march-in rights as an effective tool for price controls, and were mistaken in this belief. Kate and Joe also describe a new strategy being pressure tested in DC, promoting the expansion of the application of march-in rights to IP created by the private sector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
