2 2Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy ITS America May 2010 Intellectual Property License A License is: – A contract enabling a partner to make, use, or sell intellectual property – Associated with patent(s) (granted or pending) – Associated with defined field(s) of use – Exclusive or Non-Exclusive Payment typically includes – Patent cost reimbursement – Execution fee (in some cases equity in lieu of cash may be negotiated) – Royalty fees Options may also be executed, which provide partners with an exclusive right to negotiate a license for a defined period of time License

3 3Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy ITS America May 2010 Work for Others (WFO) A Work for Others Agreement is: – Performance of work for non-federal entities by contractor personnel (industry) – Utilization of DOE or other Federal resources not directly funded by appropriations Success requires clear goals and expectations and a knowledgeable industrial partner Work for Others, Work for Others,

4 4Managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy ITS America May 2010 Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) A CRADA is… An agreement between researchers and private sector partner(s) to conduct specified research or development activities consistent with product requirements Each party provides personnel, services, facilities, equipment, intellectual property or other resources (intense collaboration) Funding Mechanisms: 100% Funds-In by the Participant. Participant funds researcher’s portion of the project. Split funding: DOE funds ORNL’s portion of the project.* Participant provides both funds-in and in-kind contributions. Split contribution: DOE funds ORNL’s portion of the project.* Participant provides in-kind contribution.. CRADA
