Documenting and Delivering Technology Innovation for the Warfighter
At Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, scientists and engineers collaborate to discover, extract, and protect technical ideas and inventions critical to delivering Navy expertise to the Warfighter. These efforts yield valuable innovations and inventions upheld as intellectual property (IP) and protected by patent and trademark laws. McKean Defense specialists assist NSWC's Patent Program Office developing Patent Licensing Agreements and in support of escalating numbers of invention disclosures (IDs) and Patent Application Filings. McKean Defense also supports NSWC Crane in coordinating collaborations with private industry and academia with the goal of shaping a culture in which workforces value innovation and promote IP disclosure.
