SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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

    The Department of the Air Force intends to grant the [exclusive] 
[partially exclusive] patent license agreement for the invention 
described in:

--Air Force Disclosure Docket No. AFD 1677, entitled ``Unmanned Aerial 
System Stinger-Suspended Crop Health Sensing,'' by Shearer et al.
--Air Force Disclosure Docket No. AFD 1679, entitled ``Remote Sensing 
Image Processing Algorithm for Assessing Plant Population at 
Emergence,'' by Wolters, et al.

    The Ohio State University is a joint owner of the aforementioned 
inventions 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 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.
