AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant partially exclusive patent license.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially 
exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the 
inventions described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 8,167,204 B2 for an 
invention entitled ``Wireless Damage Location Sensing System,'' NASA 
Case Number LAR-17593-1; U.S. Patent No. 7,086,593 B2 for an invention 
entitled ``Magnetic Field Response Measurement Acquisition System,'' 
NASA Case Number LAR-16908-1; U.S. Patent No. 7,159,774 B2 for an 
invention entitled ``Magnetic Field Response Measurement Acquisition 
System,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17280-1; U.S. Patent No. 8,430,327 B2 
for an invention entitled ``Wireless Sensing System Using Open-Circuit, 
Electrically-Conductive Spiral-Trace Sensor,'' NASA Case Number LAR-
17294-1; U.S. Patent No. 8,042,739 B2 for an invention entitled 
``Wireless Tamper Detection Sensor and Sensing System,'' NASA Case 
Number LAR-17444-1; U.S. Patent No. 7,814,786 B2 for an invention 
entitled ``Wireless Sensing System for Non-Invasive Monitoring of 
Attributes of Contents in a Container,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17488-1; 
U.S. Patent No. 8,673,649 B2 for an invention entitled ``Wireless 
Chemical Sensor and Sensing Method for Use Therewith,'' NASA Case

products and/or similar field(s) of use thereto. NASA has not yet made 
a determination to grant the requested license and may deny the 
requested license even if no objections are submitted within the 
comment period.

DATES: The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless NASA receives written objections including evidence and 
argument, no later than February 14, 2020 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-
Dole Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed 
and received by NASA no later than February 14, 2020 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
