An ad hoc committee under the auspices of the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) will identify and prioritize opportunities to add economic value to U.S. industry through enhanced utilization of intellectual property around digital products created at federal laboratories. Specifically, the committee will (1) examine commercialization of digital products from federally funded R&D at laboratories and extramural awardees; (2) consider issues in the ownership, use, and repurposing of data, and the effect of data use restrictions on the use and analysis of multiple data sets from different sources; (3) examine the current state of commercialization of digital products, including barriers to commercialization of digital products; (4) evaluate approaches for government-owned, contractor-operator (GOCO) and government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) federal labs to incentivize their researchers and the private sector to commercialize digital products; (5) review open source versus protected proprietary control of digital products and the factors that lead to making a determination of a selected pathway for commercialization; and (6) offer recommendations for improvements regarding these digital products, especially with regard to increasing commercialization and use of these digital products in the private sector. The committee will convene one public workshop and will issue a consensus report at the conclusion of the study.
