• Helping labs prioritize portfolios, ensuring the most promising technologies are packaged for licensing or joint development.

CRADA & Licensing Support

KeyLogic smooths the path from lab to market, simplifying agreements, strengthening IP strategy, and connecting innovation with industry.

• Advising on CRADA scope, planning, and compliance.
• Supporting IP strategy development in coordination with tech transfer offices.
• Shaping licensing packages, marketing strategies, and industry outreach to attract strong partners.

Success Stories

KeyLogic accelerates lab-to-market transitions, streamlines R&D processes, and clears barriers, turning research into real-world impact.

• Lab-to-Market Acceleration: Helped transition of DOE-funded carbon management technology into industry pilots by mapping stakeholders, creating targeted outreach briefs, and connecting the research team with corporate venture partners.
• Streamlining Federal R&D Processes: Designed a CRM-enabled commercialization tracking system that gave NETL real-time insight into which technologies were closest to licensing, reducing time-to-market by months.
• Overcoming Policy & Contracting Hurdles: Guided researchers through complex CRADA negotiations by aligning technical scope with business incentives, resulting in faster execution and stronger industry buy-in.

Summary

KeyLogic’s strength lies not in owning nor licensing technologies, but in enabling and accelerating tech transfer for federal clients and R&D institutions. It does this by combining programmatic insight, strategic coordination, and deep sector knowledge, especially in energy, materials, and advanced manufacturing domains.
