        S.4145- THE UNIVERSITY AND SMALL BUSINESS
                   PATENT PROCEDURES ACT


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

     We are pleased to appear today to comment on the

University and Small Business Patent Procedures Act. The

proposed Act would establish a Government-wide patent

policy for Federal agencies to follow in dealing with small

business and nonprofit organizations performing Government

supported research and development (R&D). It would also

establish a framework for the licensing of Government-owned

inventions.

     I will briefly discuss the patent policy position of

the Commission on Government Procurement and the findings

of the Committee on Government Patent Policy. I will also

summarize our recently completed review of the patent policies

                                                      c CvV6_1
