Each year, hundreds of new inventions are made in Public Health Service (PHS) laboratories. The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) endeavors to transfer these inventions through licensing to the private sector for development that will benefit the public health. Often, companies in the private sector require patent protection to justify the expenditure of resources needed to fully develop a particular invention. Where necessary to ensure the rapid and effective development of a particular invention the OTT seeks intellectual property protection (both domestic and foreign) on PHS inventions.
