The intent is to discourage the use of patents to prevent the use of or block access to any genotype-phenotype data developed with NIH support. The NIH encourages broad use of NIH-supported genotype-phenotype data that is consistent with a responsible approach to management of intellectual property derived from downstream discoveries, as outlined in the NIH’s Best Practices for the Licensing of Genomic Inventions (https://www.ott.nih.gov/policy/ genomic_invention.html) and its Research Tools Policy (https:// ott.od.nih.gov/policy/ research_tool.html). The filing of patent applications and/ or the enforcement of resultant patents in a manner that might restrict use of NIH-supported genotype-phenotype data could diminish the potential public benefit they could provide. Approved users and their institutions, through the execution of an NIH Data Use Certification, will acknowledge the goal of ensuring the greatest possible public benefit from NIH-supported GWAS.
