Technology Development and
Commercialization at Argonne National
Laboratory
Argonne: One of DOE’s largest research facilities
Located 25 miles from the Chicago Loop, it was the first national laboratory, chartered in 1946
Operated by the University of Chicago for the U.S. Department of Energy
Major research missions include basic science, environmental management, and advanced energy technologies
About 3,400 employees, including about 1,250 scientists and engineers, of whom 750 hold doctorate degrees, 300 postdoctoral fellows
Annual operating budget of about $794 million (80% from DOE)
Since 1990, Argonne has worked with more than 600 companies and numerous federal agencies

The Advanced Photon Source: the brightest, sharpest x-
rays in the Western Hemisphere
Powerful APS x-ray beams help scientists see things in unprecedented detail and to get extraordinary results, quickly
The APS is a tremendous tool for almost every scientific discipline, from materials science to biology, chemistry, environmental science, and fundamental physics
Used by more than 5,000 scientists each year, from private industry, universities, medical schools and research laboratories across the country and around the world
6
Home to one of world’s fastest supercomputers for open science, Argonne is a leader in computation science and a pioneer on the path to exascale.
Argonne is a leader in high-performance computing
High-performance computing enables detailed simulations
How fast is exascale?
1018 operations per second
To match the speed of an exascale computer, all of the 6.9 billion people alive today would need to perform more than 140 million calculations a second.

Collaborating with Argonne
Argonne’s collaborative relationships are defined by established mechanisms:
Contractual work agreements – Work for Others (WFO)
– Collaborative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
Test or short-term limited work agreements
User Facility agreements
Licensing agreements
11
Discussion 12
Three contractual paths for collaboration
1. License Technology
Patents and software
2. Joint Development
3. Proprietary dedicated development

Partner and Argonne provide funds
Partner and Govt. (DOE, others) to fund
Argonne does not fund Partner
Partner owns IP it alone develops
Argonne owns IP it alone develops
Partner negotiates a license to Argonne owned IP
Public disclosure of data may be delayed up to five years
Joint Development

‘Work for Others’ (WFO)
AKA "Sponsored Research"
Partner covers entire project cost
IP terms depend on the project
Under certain conditions partner may own IP
Data may be kept proprietary
Proprietary Dedicated Development
