[Notice: (20-008)]


Notice of Intent To Grant Exclusive License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant exclusive patent license.

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

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant an exclusive 
patent license in the United States to practice the inventions set 
forth below (see, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION) to Oerlikon Metco (US) 
Inc., having its principal place of business in Westbury, New York. The 
fields of use may be limited to power generation and aerospace. 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 exclusive license may be granted unless, no 
later than February 18, 2020, NASA receives written objections 
including evidence and argument 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 18, 2020 will also be treated 
as objections to the grant of the contemplated 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, MS 142-7, NASA 
Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Rd., Cleveland, OH 44135. Phone 
(216) 433-3663. Facsimile (216) 433-6790.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Earp, Patent Counsel, Office of 
Chief Counsel, MS 142-7, NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark 
Rd., Cleveland, OH 44135. Phone (216) 433-3663. Facsimile (216) 433-
6790.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The inventions NASA intends to exclusively 
license to Oerlikon Metco (US) Inc. are the inventions described and
