Notice of Intent To Grant Exclusive License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant exclusive license.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) 
and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to 
grant an exclusive license in the United States to practice the 
inventions described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 6,763,083 ``Article 
Screening System'' to GaN Corporation, having its principal place of 
business in Huntsville, AL. The patent rights in this invention have 
been assigned to the United States of America as represented by the 
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The 
prospective exclusive license will comply with the terms and conditions 
of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. NASA has not yet made a 
determination to grant the requested license and may deny the requested 
license even if no objections are submitted within the comment period.

DATES: The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within 
fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, NASA receives 
written objections including evidence and argument that establish that 
the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements 
of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Competing applications completed and 
received by NASA within fifteen (15) days of the date of this published 
notice will also be treated as objections to the grant of the 
contemplated exclusive license.
    Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made 
available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by 
law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 
U.S.C. 552.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Mr. James J. McGroary, Chief Patent Counsel/LS01, Marshall 
Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL 35812, (256) 544-0013.
