Capture NASA FOSS Patent Intelligence via FOIA and Sell to Mid-Tier Defense Contractors

Organization
NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's unaggregated patent and licensing data scattered across USPTO, Technology Transfer Portal, and internal FOIA-able documents
Sector
Mid-tier defense contractors with UAV/aircraft programs (below Lockheed/Boeing tier) needing strategic IP intelligence for NASA FOSS licensing decisions
Location
United States

Executive summary

Current state

NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center has patented a lightweight fiber optic sensing system available for non-exclusive licensing, creating multiple commercial arbitrage opportunities between government-funded IP and defense contractor needs for pre-packaged structural health monitoring solutions.

Market catalyst

NASA publishes patent information but doesn't aggregate or package the critical intelligence that mid-tier defense contractors need: exact expiration dates, active licensee territories, and derivative patent filing opportunities. This creates a data gap between NASA's raw patent data and contractors' strategic planning requirements.
