Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) multiprogram national laboratory that conducts research and development in all DOE mission areas. Like all other national laboratories, INL has a statutory, technology transfer mission to make its capabilities and technologies available to federal agencies, state and local governments, universities and industry. To fulfill this mission, INL encourages its scientific, engineering and technical staff to disclose new inventions and creations to ensure the resulting intellectual property is captured, protected and made available to others who might benefit from it. As part of the mission, intellectual property is licensed to industrial partners for commercialization, job creation and delivering the benefits of federally funded technology to consumers. In some cases, unique capabilities are made available to other federal agencies, international organizations, domestic and foreign commercial entities or small businesses to solve specific technical challenges. INL employees work cooperatively with researchers and technical staff from the university and industrial sectors to further develop emerging technologies. In this global economy, INL is contributing to the development of the next generation of engineers and scientists by licensing software to educational institutions throughout the world. Abstract Disclaimer This report is a catalog of select INL technology transfer activities, including commercialization transactions and research agreements, executed during this past year. The size and diversity of INL technical resources, coupled with the large number of relationships with other organizations, virtually ensures that a report of this nature will fail to capture all interactions. Recognizing this limitation, this report focuses on transactions that are specifically authorized by technology transfer legislation (and corresponding contractual provisions) or involve the transfer of legal rights to technology to other parties. This report was compiled from primary records that were readily available to the INL ’s Technology Deployment and Contracts Management offices. Accomplishments cataloged in the report reflect the achievements and creativity of the researchers, technicians, support staff and operators of the INL workforce.
