Federal Research Commercialization: Mandating US Manufacturing for New Inventions
This law ensures that inventions and technologies developed using taxpayer money are primarily manufactured within the United States. It requires companies receiving exclusive rights to commercialize federal research to agree that the resulting products will be substantially manufactured domestically. This policy aims to boost US manufacturing jobs and secure domestic supply chains for critical innovations.
Key points
"Make Here" Requirement: Companies commercializing government-funded inventions must agree to substantially manufacture the resulting products in the US to retain exclusive rights.
Boosting Domestic Industry: Federal agencies must actively identify and connect domestic manufacturers and investors with federal research findings.
Restrictions on Foreign Production: Waivers allowing foreign manufacturing are restricted, especially if production would shift to designated "countries of concern," requiring Presidential authorization.
