Licensing DOE Technologies

Many inventions made at the DOE National Labs and facilities are owned by and available through the Laboratory where the invention was created. Other patents are available for licensing directly through the Department of Energy. An advanced search of DOepatents can be used to find only DOE-owned patents, or patents owned by an individual Laboratory.
