Baldwin and Rob Portman, R-Ohio, included a provision to strengthen the waiver process for inventions resulting from federal research at the Department of Homeland Security. . The bill will also entirely prohibit waivers for license applications from companies that intend to manufacture in a"country of concern" – currently China, Russia, North Korea and Iran.
