Notice of Intent To Grant a Partially Exclusive Patent License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant a 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

023,336 entitled ``Passive Porous Tube Nutrient Delivery System,'' NASA 
Case Number KSC-14238, to Brand Labs Technologies, LLC, having its 
principal place of business in Pompano Beach, Florida. NASA has not yet

requested license even if no objections are submitted within the 
comment period.

DATES: The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless NASA 
receives written objections, including evidence and argument no later 
than April 21, 2021 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 21, 2021 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 Mark Homer, Patent Counsel, Office of the General Counsel,
