For Inventors
APL staff members are encouraged to contact Tech Transfer during their research and development (R&D) activities. Tech Transfer will advise you of the options that will best leverage the potential of the technology that you disclose. Tech Transfer technology managers are here to assist you with questions related to marketability, patenting and other protection methods, new business start-up considerations, APL guidance and policies, and much more.

Tech Transfer provides staff members with a virtual personalized dashboard where they can submit an invention disclosure and find information to help jump-start their intellectual property journey. The portal is only accessible on the APL internal network. If you are an APL staff member on the internal network, click the link below to access the portal.
