The Laboratory deploys intellectual property strategies to protect the United States Government rights, enable the transition of technologies into the marketplace, and support our inventor/author community as they engage in academic, national laboratory, and industrial collaborations.
Los Alamos intellectual property identifies areas that are potentially transformative technologies in both government and commercial sectors to strengthen Los Alamos and its customers.
It is critical to position the use of intellectual property to strengthen Los Alamos and its customers. The Laboratory’s approach to intellectual property includes:

scientific and programmatic objectives;
• Transitioning the intellectual property from Los Alamos to the marketplace to
ultimately benefit the U.S. taxpayer; and
• Recognizing researchers through intellectual property.
