Abstract
During the 1980s, a historic transformation of policy and practice occurred concerning commercial exploitation of federally sponsored research and development. Earlier, the primary concern had been with developing and inserting technology into specific U.S. government-required applications. Technology transfer, while not repressed, was not encouraged. Today, technology transfer has become a major vehicle for increasing U.S. economic competitiveness.
