Are there circumstances where CIRM will force a Grantee to share CIRM-funded intellectual property?
In rare circumstances, yes. Like the federal government, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (including failure of the Grantee/Collaborator/Exclusive Licensee to cure) CIRM may intercede in certain circumstances on behalf of the State and Grant exclusive or nonexclusive licenses if the Grantee/exclusive licensee: • Fails to make reasonable efforts to achieve practical application of the invention or research data; • Fails to comply with the access plan; • Fails to use the data or invention to address a public health emergency declared by the Governor.
