Notice of Intent To Grant Partially Exclusive Term License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant partially exclusive patent license.

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

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially 
exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the invention 
described and claimed in U.S. Patent 8,813,577 entitled ``Self-
Contained Compressed-Flow Generation Device for use in making 
Differential Measurements,'' U.S. Patent 8,555,731 entitled ``Self-
Contained Compressed-Flow Generation Device for use in making 
Differential Measurements,'' U.S. Patent 8,739,638 entitled ``Star-
Shaped fluid flow tool for use in making differential measurements,'' 
and U.S. Patent 8,733,180 entitled ``Airfoil-shaped Fluid Flow Tool for 
use in making Differential Measurements,'' to AquaStar Pool Products, 
Inc., having its principal place of business in Ventura, California. 
The fields of use may be limited to pool products and supplies. 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 partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless NASA receives written objections, including evidence and 
argument, no later than August 14, 2017 that establish that the grant 
of the license would not be consistent with the requirements regarding 
the licensing of federally owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh-
Dole Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed 
and received by NASA no later than August 14, 2017 will also be treated 
as objections to the grant of the contemplated exclusive license.
