SUMMARY: In compliance with 35 U.S.C. 209(e) and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i), 
the Department of the Army hereby gives notice of its intent to grant 
to TroCept Micro Ltd. L.L.C., a corporation having its principle place 
of business at 2711 Centerville Rd, Suite 400, Wilmington, DE 19808, 
exclusive licenses relative to the following U.S. Patents:
     6,501,099; ``Modified-anode gate turn-off thyristor;'' 
December 31, 2002.
     6,703,642; ``Silicon carbide (SiC) gate turn-off (GTO) 
thyristor structure for higher turn-off gain and larger voltage 
blocking when in the off-state;'' March 9, 2004.
     6,734,462; ``Silicon carbide (SiC) gate turn-off (GTO) 
thyristor structure for higher turn-off gain and larger voltage 
blocking when in the off-state,'' February 8, 2000.
     6,759,683; ``Formulation and fabrication of an improved Ni 
based composite Ohmic contact to n-SiC for high temperature and high 
power device applications;'' July 6, 2004.
     6,900,477; ``Processing technique to improve the turn-off 
gain of a silicon carbide gate turn-off thyristor and an article of 
manufacture;'' May 31, 2005.

extender to increase the voltage blocked in the off state of a high 
power semiconductor device;'' December 4, 2007.
     7,851,274; ``Processing technique to improve the turn-off 
gain of a silicon carbide gate turn-off thyristor;'' December 14, 2010.

DATES: The prospective exclusive licenses may be granted unless within 
fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, the U.S. Army 
Research Laboratory receives written objections including evidence and 
argument that establish that the grant of the licenses would not be 
consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. 
Competing applications completed and received by the U.S. Army Research 
Laboratory within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published 
notice will also be treated as objections to the grant of the 
contemplated exclusive licenses.
    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: Send written objections to Michael D. Rausa, U.S. Army 
Research Laboratory, Office of Research and Technology Applications, 
Attn: RDRL-DB/Bldg. 434, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5425.
