A simple change to federal research funding could help more federally funded inventions achieve broader impact. In a new article published in Technology and Innovation, the authors propose allowing university researchers to include patenting costs in federal grant budgets. They argue that giving institutions more flexibility and assistance when protecting intellectual property could help advance more federally funded inventions.

Sanberg, President of the National Academy of Inventors; Sethuraman Panchanathan, former Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and University Professor of Technology and Innovation at Arizona State University; Anton Hopen, patent attorney at Trenam Law; and Kimberly B.
