Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) and Other Means of Technology Transfer

Transferring federal government-developed technology to the private sector for further development and commercialization can be rewarding.

Technology developed for the nation's defense can benefit the general public in non-defense-related ways.

• What can this mean for businesses like yours?
• Reaching the contractor's/partner's commercial goals can make a bigger bang in taxpayers' dollars for dual-use technologies.  

Hosted by APEX Accelerators, (formerly Colorado PTAC), subject matter and data rights experts from Whitcomb Selinsky, PC, address questions relating to how contractors/partners and any small business owners can:

• Leverage technologies developed by the federal government.
• Benefit from partnering with a national laboratory.
• Tap into and leverage the federal laboratory's unique and often superior resources.
• Increase their chances of obtaining future government contracts and rendering successful performances.
• Protect intellectual property, patents, and trademarks.
• Expand their technology transfer knowledge.

Viewers will walk away with the following:

• A better understanding of CRADA and other technology transfer processes and mechanisms.
• How the contractor/partner can best utilize the intellectual property developed during collaborative research of the CRADA exclusively for a set period of time.
• How to maintain a competitive advantage as small and medium-sized companies and seek to grow their business.
