With America as the number one innovating country in the world, its good to see other nations following our lead in "policy innovations." The latest example is India, in which a law similar to Bayh-Dole will be introduced to allow researchers working under public R&D money to obtain the IP to their work, thereby adding incentive for breakthrough and important discoveries.
(The) Indian Government plans to introduce a new US-type legislation to promote innovation and flexibility in the country's universities where scientists would be given ownership of IP for the first time for their creations, Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said..."In the winter session of Parliament, I will introduce the new legislation which is something like the Bayh-dole Act of the US, by which people in the university gets ownership to the IP they create."
"This is the model the US has adopted and this is the reason why the us is far ahead of anybody else"
