Patents Issued in 2024
The march of progress in today’s world is fueled by intellectual property. New discoveries, inventions, and technologies are enabled by the legal protections residing in patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property. Technology transfer facilitates the introduction of new technologies developed by federal research into the marketplace, where these technologies improve the quality of everyday life, benefit society, and strengthen the American economy,
The World Intellectual Property Organization, a United Nations agency created to promote the protection of intellectual property globally, designated April 26th as World Intellectual Property Day. Activities, publications, and contests promoted IP education and the appreciation of IP’s crucial and central role in our world.
NIST’s passionate commitment to the importance of intellectual property and technology transfer is demonstrated by the ten NIST patents, covering an impressive range of scientific fields, issued so far in 2024. Details of these patents can be found in the table below.
