  1. Promoting U.S. Innovation and Industrial Competitiveness Dr. George W. Arnold Deputy Director, Technology Services

  2. NIST’s Role: An Enabler for US Innovation and Competitiveness

  3. Intellectual Property Plays an Important Role To achieve competitive advantage in [the manufacturing sector] … requires significant investment in scientific talent, laboratories and analytical equipment, intellectual property patents, … Source: Manufacturing in America, Dept of Commerce 2004 “Patents…the key asset for us. They enable…access to the capital markets and to continue our innovation and development… “The venture capital accessed through patents …enables not-yet-profitable companies to sustain . . . innovation through massive investments in research and development.” Source: Federal Trade Commission report, October 2003

  4. Leveraging Federal R&D to Benefit Business • Stevenson-Wydler Act • Makes technology transfer the responsibility of all federal laboratories - encourages labs to patent and license their technologies and collaborate with industry • Federal Technology Transfer Act • Provides federal labs the authority and mechanisms to partner with industry

  5. The New Paradigm for Innovation “Open innovation…assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology.” Henry Chesbrough, Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm

  6. The Key is Collaboration “Few if any companies today can hold all the pieces of their own product technology…they simply must collaborate with others if they want to survive and prosper…IP has become much more of a bridge to collaboration” Marshall Phelps, Microsoft

  7. NIST Technology Transfer and Collaboration • A wide variety of tools • Technology Innovation Program (TIP) • Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) • Patents and licenses • Collaborations – formal and informal • Guest researchers • Publications • Standards

  8. Working with NIST • We appreciate your time and interest today • We plan to have more events to showcase other areas • Please contact us on the inventions you see today • We invite your feedback on how we can work better to collaborate and communicate • Consider other areas for collaboration as you hear about our programs and see some of our facilities
