SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially 
exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the invention 
described and claimed in U.S. Patent Application entitled, ``Disruptive 
Tuned Mass System and Method'', MFS-33317-1, to Linc Research, Inc.,

The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the United

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 April 9, 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 April 9, 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 James J. McGroary, Chief Patent counsel/LS01, NASA 
Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL 35812, (256) 544-0013.

exclusive patent license is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(e) 
and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). The patent rights in these inventions have 
been assigned to the United States of America as represented by the
