Increased Business Support: More funds are available for business and technical assistance for small companies, aiding their development and product commercialization.
New Commercialization Officials: Federal agencies will designate Technology Commercialization Officials to guide companies from research to market.
Streamlined Patent Access: A prioritized patent examination program is established for companies in innovation support programs, accelerating intellectual property protection.
