Facsimile: (937) 255-3733; Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the exclusive patent license agreement to consolidate rights with 
co-owner The Secretary of State for Defense of the United Kingdom of 
Great Britain and Northern Ireland as represented by the Defense 
Science Technology Laboratory for the invention described in:

A Radio or Sonic Wave Detector, Transmitter, Receiver and Method 
Thereof
    --United Kingdom Application Serial No. GB1803239.1, filed February 
28, 2018
    --Patent Cooperation Treaty Serial No. PCT/GB2019/000041, filed 
February 25, 2019
    --U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 16/288,791, filed February 28, 
2019

    The consolidation of rights is in the best interest of both owners 
in order to promote commercialization of the technology in the United 
States and abroad. 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.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
