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

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 January 29, 2021 will also be treated as 
objections to the grant of the contemplated exclusive, co-exclusive or 
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.
