In this work, we apply new technology-transfer measures-filing rate (i.e., proportion of invention disclosures that result in a patent application) and transfer rate (i.e., proportion of patent applications that result in an invention license)-proposed in the academic literature on technology transfer, to data on invention disclosures, patents, and invention licenses from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We calculate these measures for NIST and compare these calculated values of these measures reported for the Naval Medical Research and Development Enterprise (NMR&D) and for universities. For fiscal years 2010 through 2014, NIST had a filing rate of 67 % and a transfer rate of 15.3 % on reported inventions. During that same time period, NMR&D had an 84.5 % filing rate and 9.4 % transfer rate. Compared to the university mean filing rate of 60 % and transfer rate of 42 %, NIST and NMR&D invention disclosures appear to be prosecuted for patenting at a higher rate and result in licensing at a lower rate. We caveat analysis of these measures by noting that these values are influenced by many factors unobserved in this work, including the nature of research conducted, the organization's mission, and the organization's policies towards intellectual property.
