SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The information submitted by the public is a license application 
for those companies and individuals who wish to obtain a patent license 
for a NASA patented technology. Information needed for the license 
application in ATLAS may include supporting documentation such as a 
certificate of incorporation, a financial statement, a business and/or 
commercialization plan, a projected revenue/royalty spreadsheet and a 
company balance sheet. At a minimum, all license applicants must submit 
a satisfactory plan for the development and/or marketing of an 
invention. The collected information is used by NASA to ensure that 
companies that seek to commercialize NASA technologies have a solid 
business plan for bringing the technology to market.

II. Method of Collection

    NASA is participating in Federal efforts to extend the use of 
information technology to more Government processes via internet. NASA 
encourages recipients to use the latest computer technology in 
preparing documentation. Companies and individuals submit license 
applications by completing the automated form by way of the Automated 
Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). NASA requests all 
license applications to be submitted via electronic means.
