NASA Request for Information: No-cost Patent Marketing and Brokerage Services With Revenue Sharing Component Upon License Execution
“NASA’s Goal: NASA wishes to maximize the benefit to the public from NASA’s R&D investments yielding new technologies and patents. Seeking no-cost methods to further advance dissemination of NASA’s patent investment will provide the best value to the public through the introduction of new and efficient licensing processes and tools. NASA recognizes that there are many business models in the U.S. for providing IP management services, such as patent brokering, using a variety of different transaction methods and platforms. NASA is issuing this request for information in an effort to better understand the range of possible models and services available for assisting NASA with the dissemination of NASA technology, at no additional cost to the taxpayer.”
