Notice of Intent To Grant a Partially Exclusive License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

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 invention 
described and claimed in U.S. Patent Application Number 16/503,663 
titled ``Bistable Collapsible Tubular Mast Boom'' to MMA Design, LLC, 
having its principal place of business in Louisville, CO. The fields of 
use shall mean the production and supply of deployable space structures 
or structural components for deployable space structures. 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 partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless NASA receives written objections including evidence and 
argument, no later than August 16, 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 August 16, 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 Patent Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, NASA 
Langley Research Center, Phone (757) 864-3221. Email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of intent to grant a partially 
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 this invention have 
been assigned to the United States of America as represented by the 
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The 
prospective partially exclusive license will comply with the 
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
