ABSTRACT
This chapter describes post-legislation cases from 1992 and 1993. It introduces the cases using the "Level II Analysis" described in Chapter l 's section on research design. Using information from the 1994 FLC Winner's Document, all of the FLC 1992-93 awards are organized by federal department or agency and topic area. The topics are based on the interview topics defined in Chapter l 's section, "Core Elements of the Government Technology Transfer Process." The following topics are included in the introductory section: technology applications, role of the laboratory researchers and other personnel, technology transfer mechanisms, intellectual property, user benefits/economic impact/outcomes, government gains, elapsed time, and other factors. In order to avoid excessive duplication, topics are addressed primarily with illustrative examples rather than a comprehensive survey of all the cases.
