SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Technology Commercialization Act of 
1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds and declares the following:
            (1) The commercialization of technology and industrial 
        innovation are central to the economic, environmental, and 
        social well-being of citizens of the United States.
            (2) The Government can help United States business to speed 
        the development of new products and processes by entering into 
        cooperative research and development agreements which make 
        available the assistance of Federal laboratories to the private 
        sector, but the commercialization of technology and industrial 
        innovation in the United States depends largely upon actions by 
        business.
            (3) The commercialization of technology and industrial 
        innovation in the United States will be enhanced if companies, 
        in return for reasonable compensation to the Government, can 
        more easily obtain exclusive licenses to inventions which they 
        develop jointly with Federal laboratory scientists.

SEC. 3. TITLE TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ARISING FROM COOPERATIVE 
              RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.

    Section 12(b) of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 
1980 (15 U.S.C. 3710a(b)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(b) Enumerated Authority.--
            ``(1) Under an agreement entered into pursuant to 
        subsection (a)(1) a laboratory shall ensure that a 
        collaborating party has the right of first refusal to an 
        exclusive license for one or more fields of use in any 
        invention jointly made by its employee and a laboratory 
        employee under the agreement in exchange for reasonable 
        compensation to the laboratory and submission of a satisfactory 
        plan to commercialize the invention. In consideration for the 
        Government's contribution under the agreement, the rights of 
        the collaborating party shall be subject to the following 
        conditions:
                    ``(A) The agreement includes a nonexclusive, 
                nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license from the 
                collaborating party to the laboratory to practice the 
                invention or have the invention practiced throughout 
                the world by or on behalf of the Government but, in the 
                exercise of such license, the Government shall not 
                publicly disclose proprietary information related to 
                the license.
                    ``(B) The Government shall have the right to 
                require a collaborating party to grant to a responsible 
                applicant or applicants a nonexclusive, partially 
                exclusive, or exclusive license to use the invention in 
                any field of use, on terms that are reasonable under 
                the circumstances, or if the collaborating party fails 
                to grant such a license, to grant the license itself if 
                the Government finds that--
                            ``(i) the collaborating party has not 
                        taken, and is not expected to take within a 
                        reasonable time, effective steps to achieve 
                        practical application of the invention in the 
                        field of use;
                            ``(ii) the action is necessary to meet

                        satisfied by the collaborating party;
                            ``(iii) the action is necessary to meet 
                        requirements for public use specified by 
                        Federal regulations and such requirements are 
                        not reasonably satisfied by the collaborating 
                        party; or
                            ``(iv) the collaborating party has failed 
                        to comply with the agreement implementing 
                        subsection (c)(4)(B).

                services, and property from a collaborating party and

                        exclusive, or exclusive license to use the 
                        invention in any field of use, on terms that

                        the collaborating party fails to grant such a 
                        license, to grant the license itself if the 
                        Government makes a finding under paragraph 
                        (1)(B); and
