Patent Compensation Board Regulations

The Department of Energy (DOE) today is amending its Patent Compensation Board regulations to provide that the Secretary of Energy, or a person acting in that position, shall appoint, as needed, a three member panel to serve as the Patent Compensation Board to hear and decide cases falling under the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. The Secretary of Energy shall further designate one member as the chairman. This action is made necessary by the abolishment of the Department of Energy Board of Contract Appeals, which had previously served as the Patent Compensation Board.
