You may also visit the other NASA Field Centers public Web Pages for licensing opportunities.

How to Apply for a License
NASA has the authority to grant licenses on its domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pursuant to 35 U.S.C 207-209. This authority has been implemented by means of "Licensing of Government Owned Inventions," 37 C.F.R. 404.1 et seg. A party interested in licensing a NASA technology should submit a Patent License Application.

All NASA licenses are individually negotiated with the prospective licensee, and each license contains terms concerning commercialization (practical application), license duration, royalties, and periodic reporting. NASA patent licenses may be exclusive, partially exclusive, or non-exclusive.

Stennis currently has several technologies under License Agreements.

Applications for License of a Stennis Patent(s) should be addressed to:
