BILL NUMBER:S1103A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the maintenance of a database on intellectual property
Purpose or general idea of bill
To establish a database of intellectual property in the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR).
Summary of specific provisions
Amends subparagraphs (x) and (xi) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 3155 of the public authorities law to include an update on the status of such database in the annual report of the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation.
Adds a new Subdivision 3 of section 3155 of the public authorities law to include the operation and maintenance of a public, interactive database of all intellectual property generated by state employees or developed through state-funded research.
Justification
Countless products and processes are developed in part with funds invested by the State, but often these do not get beyond the development stage. This intellectual property should be catalogued and made public so that individuals and/or companies interested in commercializing any of the property have a comprehensive and current database where all such items and appropriate contacts are listed.
