-
Expert Search
The Expert Search provides customers a direct conduit to experts from the DOE’s national laboratories. This categorized list is a selection of lab-identified leading experts across several "hot" technology areas with ability to further refine the list of the experts by sub-specialty.
-
Technical Summaries
The Technical Summaries provide information about the numerous technologies associated with patents, patent applications, and publications from DOE’s national laboratories and other participating research institutions available for licensing.
-
Facility Locator
Browse more than 200 facility descriptions on LPS and gain insights on leveraging DOE facilities to discover, innovate and bridge the world's most challenging gaps in energy, artificial and space capabilities.
-
Developer API
A collection of APIs providing data related to energy technologies, experts, and patents associated with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lab Partnering Service (LPS).
-
Visual Patent Search
This search tool enables a unique, visually-facilitated search of the patent content contained in the Lab Partnering Service. This patent content contains published US patent applications and issued US patents resulting from Department of Energy funded R&D.
The Visual Patent Search tool was created using two powerful technologies developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the IN-SPIRE™ Visual Document Analysis and the Scalable Reasoning System (SRS). Using these analysis tools, a tiered patent categorization system was created from the "bottom up", enabling Lab Partnering Service to develop a unique way of searching DOE-patents beyond a simple key word search.
