Outstanding Innovation Technology Transfer Awards

Since 1998, the Laboratory has held an annual Patent and Licensing Awards reception to honor employees who have been issued patents in the past year and received royalty income for patented and copyrighted work. In 2007, the event grew to include Distinguished Awards to recognize employees who have demonstrated an exemplary effort to participate in all facets of technology transfer. TT co-sponsors this event with the Laboratory counsel's Intellectual Property Office (LC-IP).
