    Abstract of patent application(s): An integrated circuit (IC) 
validation method consisting of means to acquire an image of an IC 
under test by scanning an optical beam over the IC under test to 
optically inject carriers into the IC under test and measuring an 
output signal generated by the IC under test in response to the optical 
carrier injection (e.g., Two-photon Optical Beam Induced Current--
TOBIC); computing a comparison image between the image of the IC under 
test and a reference image; and identifying suspect regions of the IC 
under test based on the computed difference image.
    Intellectual property: U.S. Application Serial No. 63/343,204, 
filed on May 18, 2022 entitled ``Non-Destructive Verification of 
Integrated Circuits''.
    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.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Mia Day,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
