REPORT

The mission of the Office of Technology Transfer is to promote and facilitate the transfer of useful technologies to the commercial sector so that the public can directly benefit from the ingenuity and creativity of our outstanding researchers. The Office of Technology Transfer at JPL (OTT at JPL) specifically aims to focus on JPL intellectual property management and licensing, and commercialization support to apply JPL space technologies to NASA and commercial market needs. The end goal is to infuse JPL-invented innovations into the private sector as quickly as possible so that taxpayers may benefit from NASA and JPL research, and so that the United States retains its technological leadership in world markets. The Office of Technology Transfer at JPL is responsible for new technology reporting, software release, patents, licensing, and commercialization as these activities relate to JPL-developed technologies.

What We Do

Technology, Software, Licensing, and Commercialization

Report New Technologies

Report a New Technology

Technology transfer is an important part of NASA's mission. NASA is obligated to take an active role in transferring technology to the private sector and American governments.

JPL Licensing

Licensing and commercialization

The primary mission of the (OTT) is to promote and facilitate the transfer of useful technologies to the commercial sector so the public can benefit from our outstanding researchers.
