Technology transfer is mandated by law in the United States. Federal research agencies must support activities to enhance the awareness, adoption, and use of their technology products. By law, technology transfer should be an element in all Federal researchers’ performance plans.
The law states, “Technology Transfer consistent with the mission responsibilities, is a responsibility of each laboratory science and engineering professional.” (Chapter 63 USC 15, Sec. 3710, (a)(2))
