Basic Questions

• What is the ATTIC?
• What is an ORTA?
• What is a CRADA?
• If you have a technology that you think DoD can
  use, how do you get it evaluated?
• What is the difference between transition and
  transfer?

Basics of ATTIC

• Active technology search
• Team building
• Technology evaluation
• Development of Concepts of Operation
• Find sources of funding for projects
• Technology transition planning to multiple
  customers

  1980 called for the establishment of an ORTA in
  each major federal laboratory.
• Functions
• Commercialization of technology
• Cooperation with Industry
• Collaboration with other laboratories
• Stimulation of technology transfer to state and
  local governments
• Dissemination of technical information

9
Other ORTA functions

• Technology Assessment
• Marketing of laboratory resources
• Establishment, negotiation and management of
  CRADAs
• Negotiation of licenses for intellectual property
• An ORTA is similar to a high-tech marketing
  department FLC Technology Transfer Manual

10
ORTA functions per 15 USC 3710

• Prepare assessment for selected RD projects
  which may have commercial potential
• Provide and disseminate information on federally
  owned or originated products, processes, and

ORTA Roles and Responsibilities

• Make potential clients aware of SPAWAR technology
• Identify to the client the value of utilizing the
  technology
• Understand and appreciate issues related to
  commercial markets
• Understand organizational resistance to change
• FLC ORTA manual

12
Cooperative Research and Development Agreements
(CRADAs)

• Primary instrument for federal technology
  transfer
• Authorized by federal statute, Title 15, Chapter
  63, section 3710
• Not a contract (cooperative agreement or grant)
• IT IS Mutual assent to work collaboratively
  with a nonfederal party

13

• CRADA
• Use When a private party outside the government
  wants to collaborate with you with or without
  funds
• POC Tech Transfer Personnel in ORTA
• Regulations Title 15 USC3710
• CRADAs ARE NOT government acquisitions

• CONTRACT
• Use When you want work done outside the
  government and you are going to spend government
  funds to get that work done
• POC Contracting officer
• Regulations DFARS
• Contracts ARE government
• acquisitions

14
Contract Verses CRADA

• CONTRACT
• COMPETITIVE-RFP
• Intellectual property Contractor can elect to
  retain title to any subject invention.

• CRADA
• NON COMPETITIVE- work directly with federal lab
  to negotiate agreement
• Intellectual Property Title to subject
  inventions depends on whom ever the inventors
  are company, government, jointly owned

15
CRADA rules

• One or more federal parties
• One or more non-Federal parties (Always must be
  at least one non federal party)
• Resources used for Research and Development
• Funds can flow to Federal Party (Title 15, 3710a)
  but not from Federal party. Cannot send federal
  dollars to CRADA partners.
• Consistent with mission of the organization
• Preference to small businesses and US businesses
