SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Docket No. AFD 1743

    The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is a joint owner of 
this invention and the Air Force intends to license its rights to 
enable consolidation of such rights for future license agreements. The 
Department of the Air Force intends to grant the exclusive patent 
license agreement for the invention described in:

    U.S. Patent Application No. 62/518,896, filed on June 13, 2017, 
entitled ``Photodetector Focal Plane Array Systems and Methods Based 
on Microcomponents with Arbitrary Shapes.''

    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.

Henry Williams,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
