Applications in oil and gas, aerospace, defense, infrastructure, and marine industriesDecember 26th, 2021
FiledDecember 26th, 2021NASA Glenn Research Center and the Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) have signed a new agreement that streamlines licensing negotiations for a high- temperature aerogel they jointly developed. Signed in December 2013, the joint-ownership agreement allows potential licensees to negotiate solely with NASA Glenn, which is authorized to represent OAI. By eliminating the need for companies to engage with both owners of the technology, the agreement is expected to dramatically reduce the time to signature for licensing deals. The agreement also makes it easier to grant exclusive rights to the technology, enhancing a licensee’s competitive advantage in the marketplace. The innovative material is ideal for use in aviation and aerospace, oil and gas, thermoelectrics, and other high-temperature applications.
