Section 278m. Non-energy inventions program
In conjunction with the initial organization of the Institute,
the Director shall establish a program for the evaluation of
inventions that are not energy-related to complement but not

State and local government organizations, university officials, and
private sector organizations in order to obtain advice on how those
agencies and organizations might cooperate with the expansion of
this program of the Institute.
