Invent Here, Make Here for Homeland Security Act This bill restricts the manufacture abroad of products invented using funding provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Specifically, the bill prohibits a firm or nonprofit organization which receives title to any subject invention developed under a funding agreement with DHS from granting to any person the exclusive right to use or sell such invention unless that person agrees that any products embodying, or produced through the use of, such invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States. The bill authorizes waivers of this prohibition in certain instances, but prohibits waivers for products that will be manufactured substantially in a country of concern, including North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran.
