In order to meet the rigorous demands of mission requirements, NASA always has operated at the forefront of technology development. Some of the tools the agency has used, or is using, to explore space or help reveal the mysteries of the universe are available to applicants to commercialize, solve a unique design challenge, or even start a new company.

NASA’s patent portfolio is searchable and offers technologies in fields that range from aeronautics and propulsion to electronics, materials, sensors, instrumentation, and a broad array of other disciplines. ATLAS guides the applicant through every step of the licensing application process, gathers basic information about the company, business goals, and potential target markets. The system will email notifications to the applicant with updates about the application status and any required actions.

“Streamlining and simplifying our licensing process saves businesses time and money as they pursue commercialization of NASA’s technologies,” said Dan Lockney, Technology Transfer program executive for STMD. “Licensing patents isn’t new, but with the NASA license application tool, and our comprehensive portfolio of available technologies, we are making NASA’s work available to industry, which is a significant achievement.”

Patent licensing is an important component of NASA’s Technology Transfer program, through which the agency ensures that the technologies it develops are made broadly available to U.S. businesses and the public. Technology Transfer efforts maximize the nation’s investment in NASA, spur the economy, and transform NASA-developed technologies into products that enhance and improve our everyday lives.
