The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new Lab
Partnering Service that allows review of patents for licensing from 17
national DOE laboratories. The Lab Partnering Service website states:
The Laboratory Partnering Service ("LPS") is a
suite of online applications enabling access to leading experts, projects, and
patents from across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the national
laboratories. It delivers a host of information to provide access to a
portfolio of investment opportunities. The LPS enables rapid discovery of
expertise and serves as a conduit between the investor and the innovator by
providing multi-faceted search capability across numerous technology areas and
across the national laboratories.
The Expert Search provides customers a direct conduit to
experts from the DOE’s national laboratories. This categorized list is a
selection of lab-identified leading experts across several "hot"
technology areas with ability to further refine the list of the experts by
sub-specialty.
The Technical Summaries provide information about the
numerous technologies associated patents, patent applications, and publications
from DOE’s national laboratories and other participating research institutions
available for licensing.
This search tool enables a unique, visually-facilitated
search of the patent content contained in the Lab Partnering Service. This
patent content contains published US patent applications and issued US patents
resulting from Department of Energy funded R&D.
The Visual Patent Search tool was created using two powerful
technologies developed at the Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory, the IN-SPIRE™ Visual Document Analysis and the Scalable
Reasoning System (SRS). Using these analysis tools, a tiered patent
categorization system was created from the "bottom up", enabling Lab
Partnering Service to develop a unique way of searching DOE-patents beyond a
simple key word search.
The DOE also offers the Energy Innovation Portal, which
concerns access to energy efficient and renewable energy DOE funded patents for
licensing. [Hat Tip to Technology Transfer Central.]
