SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The information submitted by the public is a license application
for those companies and individuals who wish to obtain a patent license
for a NASA patented technology. Information needed for the license
application in ATLAS may include supporting documentation such as a
certificate of incorporation, a financial statement, a business and/or
commercialization plan, a projected revenue/royalty spreadsheet and a
company balance sheet. At a minimum, all license applicants must submit
a satisfactory plan for the development and/or marketing of an
invention. The collected information is used by NASA to ensure that
companies that seek to commercialize NASA technologies have a solid
business plan for bringing the technology to market.
II. Method of Collection
NASA is participating in Federal efforts to extend the use of
information technology to more Government processes via internet. NASA
encourages recipients to use the latest computer technology in
preparing documentation. Companies and individuals submit license
applications by completing the automated form by way of the Automated
Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). NASA requests all
license applications to be submitted via electronic means.
