EBERT ABSTRACT In 1947, scientists at Bell Laboratories internally disclosed a remarkable new invention that would later become known as the transistor. Following the initial disclosure, Bell Labs methodically planned and facilitated the patenting, publication, and licensing of this new technology. The manner in which Bell Labs handled the disclosure and licensing of this pioneering invention provides a template that present-day inventors would be well-advised to emulate.
