HP Labs will incubate research projects and license core and non-technologies "This has been a challenge in many corporate research labs. We do all this cool work and we have difficulty in coming out with products and services based on the fantastic research we do", admits Banerjee.

So on the foot steps of Stanford University and other leading academic institutions, HP is creating a technology transfer office that will help quickly transfer the scientific discoveries of the lab into commercial products. It will do that in 2 ways: 1) By incubating the research project, combining 1/2 a dozen of researchers with 1/2 dozen of product engineers, as well as sales and marketing staff to build a prototype and try to sell it in the marketplace; 2) And for the technology that HP chooses not to productise, it will make it available through its licensing office. The first 4 technologies coming from the labs that is available for licensing including the cool Memory Spot project and Nanowires.
