In conjunction with this workshop,the NIH is accepting comments from the public on its licensing practices, through August 18, 2023 via SciencePolicy@od.nih.gov.
KEI will be providing comments on different topics. Today KEI filed a comment on changes in the number of days the NIH provides the public to comment on its exclusive license.
