What are the requirements for statements under the Atomic Energy Act and NASA Act?

Statements under the Atomic Energy Act and NASA Act must set forth “the full facts” surrounding the conception and making of the invention. According to MPEP 151, these facts should be unique to that invention. The MPEP states:

“The use of form paragraphs or printed forms which set forth only broad generalized statements of fact is not ordinarily regarded as meeting the requirements of these statutes.”

This means that inventors must provide detailed, specific information about their invention’s conception and development.
