If an invention arises during the CIRM-Funded Research, do CIRM’s regulations attach to that invention?
The answer depends on when the invention was “conceived” and “reduced to practice.” Similar to Bayh-Dole though narrower, CIRM’s regulations attach to “CIRM-Funded Inventions.” That term is defined to reach inventions arising from CIRM-Funded Research that is either: • Reduced to practice by a Grantee, Grantee Personnel or Collaborator during the Grant; or • Conceived by the above individuals during the Grant and reduced to practice by these individuals during the Grant or within 12 months of the close of the Grant.
