14/520,863 titled ``Antenna for Far Field Transceiving,'' NASA Case No. 
LAR-18400-1, to T.L. Watson & Associates Inc., having its principal 
place of business in Alberta, Canada. The fields of use may be limited 
to emissions detection and quantification, gas and liquid flow rate 
measurement, compositional analysis, and quantification for 
hydrocarbons and other substances, including but not limited to 
H2S, CO2 and SO2, associated with the 
oil, gas and waste management industries at the well bore and/or below 
grade cavern, and associated above ground facilities for each; and/or 
similar fields of use thereto.

DATES: The prospective partially exclusive patent license may be 
granted unless, no later than October 10, 2017, NASA receives written 
objections including evidence and argument 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-Dohl Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications 
completed and received by NASA no later than October 10, 2017 will also 
be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated partially 
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.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley 
Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, Virginia 23681. Phone (757) 864-3221. 
Facsimile (757) 864-9190.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robin W. Edwards, Patent Counsel, 
Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, 
Virginia 23681. Phone (757) 864-3221. Facsimile (757) 864-9190.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of intent to grant a partially 
exclusive patent license is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(e) 
and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). The patent rights in these inventions 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 requirements of 35 
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
