Notice of Intent To Grant Exclusive License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant exclusive patent license.

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant an exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the inventions set forth below (see, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION) to Oerlikon Metco (US) Inc., having its principal place of business in Westbury, New York. The fields of use may be limited to power generation and aerospace. 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 exclusive license may be granted unless, no later than February 18, 2020, NASA receives written objections including evidence and argument 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 February 18, 2020 will also be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated 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 Chief Counsel, MS 142-7, NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Rd., Cleveland, OH 44135. Phone (216) 433-3663. Facsimile (216) 433-6790.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Earp, Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, MS 142-7, NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Rd., Cleveland, OH 44135. Phone (216) 433-3663. Facsimile (216) 433- 6790.
