Standard Data Elements for Electronic 

Summary Reports of Inventions 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget, Office of Federal Financial 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice of standard data 

elements. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) is establishing a 

standard set of data elements for a 

government-wide summary report of 

inventions and the Interagency Edison 

extramural invention reporting system 

(iEdison) as the host site for collecting 

this information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On October 30, 2002, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

proposed the establishment of a 

government-wide standard set of data 

elements for the summary report of 

inventions [67 FR 66178–66183]. The 

proposal included implementation of a 

standard dataset via a single interactive 

Internet web form. The OMB notice 

proposed locating this interactive web 

form on the Interagency Edison 

extramural invention reporting system 

(iEdison) because iEdison facilitates 

compliance with the Bayh-Dole Act 

(Pub. L. 96–517 (codified at 35 U.S.C. 

200 et seq.) Dec. 12, 1980) (‘‘Bayh-Dole 

Act’’) and its implementing regulations 

and iEdison is recognized by federal 

funding recipients as being used by 

most Federal agencies for invention 

reporting and tracking. In response to 

the Federal Register notice, OMB 

received six sets of comments from eight 

entities: three universities; a group of 

universities that participate with 

Federal agencies in a demonstration 

program on research administration; one 

association of research universities; and 

three Federal agencies. The vast 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 197 / Thursday, October 9, 2008 / Notices 59681 

majority of the comments relate to the 

implementation of the interactive 

Internet web form and whether Federal 

agencies actually need this report. Few 

comments addressed the content of the 

proposed standard data elements. This 

final notice establishes the data 

elements found in the attachment to this 

notice, and also establishes iEdison as 

the future host site for the summary 

report of inventions subject to 

addressing agency budgeting and 

associated implementation issues. 

Information on the burden associated 

with information collections made using 

these data elements will be maintained 

by NIH at https://s-edison.info.nih.gov/ 

iEdison/omb.jsp. The OMB Approval 

Number is 0925–0001. 

With the data elements defined, NIH 

can work with other federal agencies to 

begin the development of the Internet 

web form and will consider comments 

related to system design (e.g., electronic 

submission and search capabilities) as it 

finalizes the implementation solution. 

OMB will publish proposed policy 

guidance after the web form is 

completed. The policy guidance will 

address only a uniform means for 

submitting summary reports of 

inventions. It will not create any new 

reporting requirements. The following 

section presents a summary of the major 

comments grouped by subject and our 

responses to them. Changes to the 

standard data elements are discussed in 

the responses to the comments. 

II. Comments and Responses 

Summary Invention Reporting 

Requirement 

Comments: Several commenters 

questioned the need for an interim or 

final summary report of inventions. 

They noted that the summary report is 

duplicative of information contained in 

the standard Bayh-Dole invention 

reports that must be submitted to the 

federal agency within 60 days of the 

inventor disclosing the invention to the 

grantee/contractor. They recommended 

eliminating the summary report of 

inventions and allowing Federal 

program and contracting officers to have 

access to the more comprehensive 

invention reports. 

Response: Both the Bayh-Dole Act 

and the Government-wide patent 

regulations issued by the Department of 

Commerce recognize that some Federal 

agencies need an interim or final 

summary report for proper oversight of 

inventions conceived or first actually 

reduced to practice during the term of 

an award (35 U.S.C. 209(d)(2); 37 CFR 

401.5(f)(1) and (3)). There are two 

reasons some Federal agencies need this 

report. First, unlike the standard BayhDole invention report that is only 

submitted when an invention is created, 

a summary report reflects negative 

reporting. Unless the grantee/contractor 

lists all subject inventions or states that 

there were none as part of the summary 

report, the federal agency has no way of 

knowing if the grantee/contractor failed 

to provide a Bayh-Dole invention report. 

Experience has shown that recipients 

are more actively aware of their 

invention reporting obligations if they 

are required to indicate if no inventions 

were made under the award. 

The second reason for the report is to 

ensure that two components of the 

grantee/contractor organization 

reconcile their records prior to closeout. 

Generally, Bayh-Dole reporting is 

undertaken by the organization’s 

technology transfer component, and 

summary reporting is accomplished by 

the organization’s Office of Sponsored 

Research or office of grant/contract 

administration. Submittal of a summary 

report requires that these two 

components reconcile their records 

prior to closeout, which ensures more 

accurate reporting. 

Proposed Data Elements 

Comments: We received very few 

comments on the data elements. 

Specific suggestions were made to 

change the names of certain data 

elements. For example, it was suggested 

that the term, ‘‘Subcontractor’’ be 

changed to the more generic term, 

‘‘Subawardee.’’ It was also suggested 

that we include the Dun and Bradstreet 

Data Universal Numbering System 

(DUNS) number as a means to identify 

the grantee, since the OMB proposed to 

establish the DUNS number as the 

universal identifier in government 

funding agreements. In addition, several 

people were confused as to whether the 

form could be used to report more than 

one invention. 

Response: We agree with the 

recommendations to use more generic 

names and to include the entity’s DUNS 

number. We believe that the template 

attached to the proposed notice may 

have been misinterpreted, because it 

could not adequately represent how the 

form would work on the web. To 

address any confusion regarding the 

reporting of multiple inventions, we 

changed the Group ‘‘Description’’ fields 

to clarify that a single summary report 

can accommodate multiple inventions, 

multiple patents, patent applications, 

plant varieties and multiple inventors 

per invention, patent, patent application 

or plant varieties. In addition, this 

notice makes other changes to the 

proposed data elements as follows: 

• The guidance has been expanded to 

include the reporting of plant varieties 

as required by 7 U.S.C. 2321 et seq.; 

Plant Variety Protection Act 

Amendments of 1994 (7 U.S.C. 2401 

note). 

• The words ‘‘patent application or 

plant variety’’ have been added after the 

word ‘‘patent,’’ wherever it appears, to 

clarify that the awardee must report 

patents, patent applications and plant 

varieties. 

• The Prime Awardee’s DUNS 

number is added as a required element 

for organizations in accordance with the 

OMB grants management policy 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 27, 2003 (68 FR 38402–38405). 

• The Subawardee DUNS field and 

the Subawardee Number field are being 

added as required fields since the 

Federal Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2006 requires OMB 

to collect subawardee data (Pub. L. 109– 

282 (Sept. 26, 2006) (codified at 31 

U.S.C. 6101 note)). 

• Various ‘‘Required?’’ fields have 

been revised to clarify that the 

information is required for each 

invention, inventor, patent, patent 

application, and plant variety reported. 

• The words ‘‘Patent Cooperation 

Treaty (PCT) or’’ have been added 

before ‘‘Foreign Application Filed’’ to 

clarify that this data element includes 

PCT applications as well as foreign 

patent and foreign plant variety 

applications (or equivalent foreign 

protection). The description for this 

field has been revised to read: ‘‘Has a 

PCT, foreign patent or foreign plant 

variety application been filed?’’ 

• The ‘‘Foreign Countries Indicated’’ 

description has been clarified to read: 

‘‘For PCT or foreign filings, have all 

countries been noted in the report?’’ 

• The ‘‘Election of Title’’ and 

‘‘Confirmatory License’’ fields were 

added as required elements to affirm the 

Reporting Institution’s interest in the 

invention and the Government’s 

interests in the reported invention are 

appropriately addressed consistent with 

the Bayh-Dole Act. 

Other minor clarifications, additions, 

and editorial changes were made. For 

example, the word ‘‘contract’’ was 

changed to ‘‘award’’ for consistency; the 

words ‘‘Subcontractor’’ and 

‘‘Subcontract’’ were changed to 

‘‘Subawardee’’ and ‘‘Subaward,’’ 

respectively; and the words ‘‘entire 

award period’’ were changed to 

‘‘reporting period’’ to clarify that the 

reporting period may include both 

interim and final reporting periods. 

Further, the following data fields have 

been added as Optional elements to 

allow for consistency for agencies that 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
59682 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 197 / Thursday, October 9, 2008 / Notices 

currently collect this data and those that 

do not: ‘‘Signatory Telephone Number’’ 

(Optional), ‘‘Signatory Email Address’’ 

(Optional), ‘‘Reporting Institution’s 

Subawardee Name’’ (Optional), ‘‘Prime 

Awardee Organization Type Code’’ 

(Optional), ‘‘Prime Award Completion 

Date’’ (Optional), ‘‘Awarding Agency 

Prime Award Monitor First Name’’ 

(Optional), ‘‘Awarding Agency Prime 

Award Monitor Last Name’’ (Optional). 

The ‘‘Reporting Institution’s 

Subawardee Address’’ and ‘‘Reporting 

Institution’s Subawardee(s) Funding 

Agreement Number’’ fields are 

conditional so they are only required if 

the optional ‘‘Reporting Institution’s 

Subawardee Name’’ is reported. 

Electronic Implementation of Summary 

Reporting of Inventions 

Comments: This aspect of the 

proposed policy received the greatest 

number and variety of comments. Many 

commenters expressed concern over the 

limited value of promoting an 

interactive Web interface hosted on the 

Interagency Edison site (http:// 

www.iEdison.gov) as the only way to 

obtain and complete the proposed 

summary report. Specific problems with 

the proposed implementation include: 

• The requirement that the summary 

report be signed by the organization’s 

authorized official. The proposed notice 

required that the form be completed online, printed, signed and either faxed or 

sent via U.S. mail. It was suggested that 

there was adequate Federal precedence 

to use strong password authentication. 

• The need to key information into an 

interactive Web form. Many grantee/ 

contractor organizations have database 

systems and would prefer to submit the 

summary information as a datastream. 

• The need to continue to maintain 

hard copies of the report. 

• The compatibility of the data 

standard with other approved standards 

being implemented throughout the 

government. 

Response: NIH will consider these 

issues as the interactive Web form is 

developed with the other agencies. The 

system would include electronic 

authentication. While an interactive 

Web form will not allow for the 

submission of a datastream directly, the 

intent is to have the system 

automatically populate fields on the 

form if the data has been previously 

entered into iEdison. The data 

dictionary would be reviewed to ensure 

compatibility with other government 

standards. Comments will be sought 

from users on a test site as soon as the 

Web form is developed. 

Applicability to Contracts 

Comment: The language in the 

‘‘Summary’’ indicates that this effort is 

a result of the streamlining activities 

under Public Law 106–107, which relate 

to financial assistance administration. 

However, other parts of the notice and 

the data elements themselves indicate 

that they apply equally to contracts. We 

suggest that this notice clearly specify 

the intent with regard to contracts. 

Response: As the commenter noted, 

this action is the result of a financial 

assistance streamlining effort. When we 

publish a proposed notice of policy, it 

will specify that the policy applies only 

to financial assistance. However, since 

many agencies currently use the same 

summary invention reporting form for 

both financial assistance and 

procurement contracts, the workgroup 

followed this example and established 

data elements that are equally 

applicable to contractors so that 

agencies could use the report for 

contracts if they chose.

Government-Wide Data Elements for 

Summary Reporting of Inventions 

These data elements are the 

government-wide standard set of 

elements for the summary reporting of 

all inventions, patent applications, 

patents and plant varieties that have 

been made, filed for, and/or granted 

using Federal funds during the term of 

a Federal funding agreement. The data 

elements include the identification of 

the agency source of funding, the 

reporting period, whether the report is 

an interim or final report and the name 

and title of the official authorized to 

submit the information. Any number of 

inventions can be reported, including 

the invention title, inventors’ names, 

and invention docketing numbers and 

the date upon which the invention was 

formally reported to the funding agency 

consistent with Bayh-Dole regulations. 

A similar set of information is available 

for summary reporting of patent or plant 

variety protection applications that 

relate to each invention.
