Government Inventions Open for Licensing
The U.S. Government owns inventions from federally funded research and is offering them for licensing so businesses can commercialize those results quickly. Companies, including local and international firms, may license these government-owned inventions to bring products or services to market.
Selected Inventions Have Foreign Patents
For selected inventions, foreign patent applications have been filed to extend market coverage, and those foreign patents may also be available for licensing. This means businesses seeking international markets may be able to license protected technology beyond the U.S.
