Abstract:	The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) is a federal science and technology program whose mission is to accelerate the development and commercialization of long-term, risky technologies for broad national benefit through partnerships with the private sector. ATP provides funding for individual R&D projects. ATP tracks the technical achievements, dissemination of technical information, and commercialization of products and services during each project's lifetime and for six years after its completion. These data are then used to measure the outcomes and output, both technical and economic, of the individual R&D projects and assess the impact of the project on the company and economy as a whole. Due to the longitudinal nature of ATP data, it is possible to identify when participating companies undergo changes in ownership or transfer their ATP-funded technologies through licensing or technology sales to third-party corporations. This allows one to track how the ownership of a particular technology changes between lab and marketplace.
