A: It is possible for the US Department of Energy to provide funding for research related to a USPTO patent pending invention owned by someone else, but this would depend on various factors such as the specific details of the invention and the funding guidelines and criteria of the Department of Energy. It is recommended that you consult with an intellectual property attorney and/or a funding expert to determine if this is a viable option for your specific situation.
