OSTI ID:6524292
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) protects patents of some inventions even though the information it releases is intended to expedite commercialization of inventions that will improve electric power service to the public. Patent protection recognizes that process information will not benefit consumers directly and that EPRI's responsibility lies with encouraging commercial development. This approach gives manufacturers more investment security, allows EPRI to impose quality-control standards, provides a bargaining point in the manufacturing process, prevents exclusive control of EPRI research, and generates royalties to fund other research. Public announcement precedes EPRI licensing of all new inventions.
