calendar days after the date of publication of this Notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melissa Ortiz, Technology Transfer

Directorates, 3550 Aberdeen Ave. SE, Kirtland AFB, NM 87117; Facsimile: 
505-846-5034; or Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the exclusive patent license agreement for the invention 
described in:

--U.S. Application No. 15/737,250, filed December 15, 2017, entitled, 
``Methods to Mitigate Stress-Induced Metal Line Fractures for Thin-Film 
Solar Cells, Using Metal-Carbon-Nanotube Composites,'' and published as 
US 2018/0175218.

    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
