inventions have been assigned to the United States of America as 
represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space

unless NASA receives written objections, including evidence and 
argument no later than February 27, 2019 that establish that the grant

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 February 27, 2019 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 James J. McGroary, Chief Patent Counsel/LS01, NASA
