New invention disclosures

.

Chapter 2 in Invention, Innovation and U.S. Federal Laboratories, 2020, pp 15-30 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter summarizes legislative information related to technology transfers from U.S. federal laboratories. The Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 is discussed. Invention disclosures in federal laboratories, aggregated to the agency level, are described in terms of increases and decreases over the fiscal years 2003 through 2015. A proposition is set forth, namely that ideas beget ideas. The chapter concludes with a question about the observed declining trend in invention disclosures: What does it say about the effective use of federal laboratory R&D investments if over time invention disclosures, that is new inventive ideas that stem from R&D investments, have not been increasing over time?
