Spiral-Trace Sensor,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17294-1; U.S. Patent No. 
8,673,649 B2 for an invention titled ``Wireless Chemical Sensor and 
Sensing Method for Use Therewith,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17579-1; U.S. 
Patent No. 9,329,149 B2 for an invention titled ``Wireless Chemical 
Sensor and Sensing Method for Use Therewith,'' NASA Case Number LAR-
17579-2; U.S. Patent No. 9,733,203 B2 for an invention titled 
``Wireless Chemical Sensing Method,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17579-3; 
U.S. Patent No. 10,031,031 B2 for an invention titled ``Wireless 
Temperature Sensing Method Using No Electrical Connections,'' NASA Case 
Number LAR-17747-1-CON; U.S. Patent No. 10,605,673 B2 for an invention 
titled ``Wireless Temperature Sensor Having No Electrical 
Connections,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17747-2-CON; U.S. Patent No. 
10,180,341 B2 for an invention titled ``Multi-Layer Wireless Sensor

for an invention titled ``Antenna for Far Field Transceiving,'' NASA 
Case Number LAR-18400-1 to Aquatherm LP, having its principal place of 
business in Lindon, UT. The fields of use may be limited to 
polypropylene and plastic containers and pipes, and associated fittings 
and joints, within residential structures, and including but not 
limited to the non-destructive evaluation of the aforementioned 
containers and pipes and the detection of conditions and states of the 
contents therein, and/or similar field(s) of use thereto. 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 January 29, 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-
Dohl Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed 
and received by NASA no later than January 29, 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:
