- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a sponsored research agreement or CRADA program. THE TECHNOLOGY: Conductive Metal Oxide Films for Photovoltaic Cells or Flat Panel Displays. This is a method for reducing the charge state of a dopant in a metal oxide film that produces a film in which the dopant is reduced while the metal oxide is not. This relatively simple technique produces a thin film that is both optically transparent and highly conductive. These properties are highly desirable for use in photovoltaic cells and flat panel displays, where high levels of both transparency and conductivity are needed. Also, the process allows for the deposition of biologically active substances within the thin film. By incorporating osteogenic agents, this could possibly be used for the development of bone-fixation devices or methods of delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents. Please see: US Patent No. 5,990,416. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice.
