S1103A-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1103A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the maintenance of a
database on intellectual property

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To establish a database of intellectual property in the New York State
Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR).

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Amends subparagraphs (x) and (xi) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 2
of section 3155 of the public authorities law to include an update on
the status of such database in the annual report of the New York
State Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation.

Adds a new Subdivision 3 of section 3155 of the public authorities law
to include the operation and maintenance of a public, interactive
database of all intellectual property generated by state employees or
developed through state-funded research.

JUSTIFICATION:
Countless products and processes are developed in part with funds
invested by the State, but often these do not get beyond the
development stage. This intellectual property should be catalogued
and made public so that individuals and/or companies interested in
commercializing any of the property have a comprehensive and current
database where all such items and appropriate contacts are listed.
