Notice of Intent To Grant an Exclusive, Co-Exclusive or Partially 
Exclusive Patent License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant exclusive, co-exclusive or partially 
exclusive patent license.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant an exclusive, 
co-exclusive or partially exclusive patent license to practice the 
inventions described and claimed in the patents and/or patent 
applications listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below.

DATES: The prospective exclusive, co-exclusive or partially exclusive 
license may be granted unless NASA receives written objections 
including evidence and argument, no later than December 30, 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 
December 30, 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.

ADDRESSES: Objections and Further Information: Written objections 
relating to the prospective license or requests for further information 
may be submitted to Agency Counsel for Intellectual Property, NASA 
Headquarters at email: [email protected]. Questions may be 
directed to Phone: (202) 358-3437.
