As a publicly supported research institution, NIH strives to continuously increase transparency between its technology transfer program and the general public. As a result, the NIH Office of Technology Transfer has created a webpage where the public can view a list of all active NIH patents and patent applications, updated nightly. 

Users can search by:

• Keywords 
• Lead IC 
• Country 
• Application Type
• Patent Status

You can access the new NIH Patent and Patent Application webpage on the website along with the Federal Register Notices page of proposed exclusive licenses and our complete catalogue of 1,700+ inventions ready for licensing or collaboration.
