Bill overview

The Invent Here, Make Here Act of 2024 aims to boost domestic manufacturing by requiring that inventions developed with federal funds be produced in the United States. It directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to coordinate with manufacturers and investors, and mandates a study to identify barriers to domestic commercialization. The bill also strengthens a preference for U.S. industry when licensing inventions, with specific provisions for waivers and reporting requirements, and modifies related legislation to prioritize domestic production of federally funded innovations.
