V2G½: Load can provide regulation services
V2G • provides regulation
service as a load and
generator
• requires charging and
discharging according
to grid operators
signal

Max. charging (7.2 kW)
Attribute of “V2G½”:
• provides regulation service with ½ the capacity value of V2G
• however, less than half the cost because • no interconnection gear with grid necessary because no electricity goes back into grid
• removes any uncertainties regarding battery life reduction
because of extra cycling

Doing Business with PNNL
June 19, 2014 10 10 10
CRADA
• Cost share with DOE
• Option to exclusive rights to foreground IP
WFO
• Fund research
• Keep the IP
• Mostly non-negotiable terms
ACT
• Fund research
• Negotiate IP
• More flexible in some terms
Direct Licensing of Existing IP
• Patents and technologies available for licensing
Example of successful licensing of PNNL IP
High-resolution radar imaging technology to rapidly scan for potential threats that would not be picked up by traditional metal detectors in airports.
Same technology serves the apparel industry, taking customer measurements to help make tailored clothing.

Example of successful licensing of PNNL IP
PNNL spin-out company for grid-
scale (vanadium redox) flow
batteries using novel electrolyte
chemistry
Helps to enable renewable power
generation
Firm based in Mukilteo, WA
One of two licenses to battery
manufacturers, in additional to
three licenses to electrolyte
producers.

CRADA / WFO
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA)
Research at PNNL funded jointly by sponsor and DOE
Must be aligned with DOE mission – support required from
cognizant DOE program manager, and scope approved by
DOE site office
Sponsor’s cost share can include in-kind, e.g., prototypes,
labor, etc.
Commercial terms somewhat negotiable, but standard template
from DOE has many essentially non-negotiable terms
IP: Sponsor gets an option to an exclusive license to
generated IP within a specific field of use (royalty terms can be
bracketed)
Data: Incoming data can be protected, but generated data can
only be protected for five years
Starting point: Develop scope of work with PNNL June 19, 2014 14
Work for Others (WFO)
Research at PNNL fully funded by sponsor
PNNL cannot compete with the private sector, so work must
relate to unique PNNL capability or expertise
Terms are largely non-negotiable
Ninety day up front payment required
Sponsor indemnifies lab and government
Time and materials basis only
IP: Sponsor owns all generated IP (given DOE reporting
requirements, some sponsors choose to let Battelle own IP and
then grant exclusive license or use option)
Data: Sponsor can own and protect all generated data
Starting point: Develop scope of work with PNNL
June 19, 2014 15
Agreement to Commercialize Technology
(ACT)
Research at PNNL fully funded by sponsor
ACT is a pilot program at nine DOE laboratories
Battelle steps in between sponsor and DOE to absorb some
risk in exchange for a slightly higher fee
Terms are more negotiable
No up front fee required (payment negotiable)
Indemnity clauses are negotiable (Battelle can assume some risk)
Deliverables are negotiable, i.e., performance requirements
IP: Largely negotiable – most often Battelle takes title and
grants exclusive license in field of use, allowing Battelle to
license in unrelated fields of use
Data: Sponsor can own and protect all generated data
Starting point: Develop scope of work with PNNL

Agreement Use Funding Subject Inventions Generated Data U.S. Competitiveness Cost Highlights
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA)
Collaborative research between DOE Labs and public and/or private entities for the mutual benefit of the parties
Private and/or Federal funds

Proprietary User Agreement4
User may access designated facilities to conduct its own proprietary research
Private funds
User may elect title to its Subject Inventions
User may protect as proprietary
n/a User pays approved user rate
Generated data treated as proprietary Merit based access to unique facilities
Non-Proprietary User Agreement4
Non-proprietary research at designated facilities
n/a Lab and User may elect their own Subject Inventions
Unlimited Gov. Rights
U.S. Preference (see above)
Each party covers own cost
Merit based access to unique facilities
Technology Transfer Mechanisms at DOE Facilities
1 Certain exceptions or restrictions may apply (e.g. foreign WFO Sponsors may be granted the right to elect title to inventions and receive proprietary data protection but only after the approval of DOE field patent counsel and concurrence from the cognizant DOE program office).2 Proprietary data protection may not be available at all facilities. 3 If the limited Gov. R&D license is utilized, data protection will be limited to 5 years. 4 User Agreements are only available when the Sponsor/Participant/User is proposing to use a DOE Designated User Facility that offers such agreements. (see, http://technologytransfer.energy.gov/docs/designateduserfacilities.html) rev. 9.24.2012
Certification: The Lab provided this DOE technology transfer matrix and explained all the options available including the availability of WFO agreements and CRADAs. The Lab has also disclosed in writing the relative cost differential between performing the proposed scope of work under ACT, a non-federal WFO agreement, and a CRADA (including any additional compensation to the Contractor under ACT).
