SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C. 

209 provides federal agencies with 

authority to grant exclusive licenses in 

federally-owned inventions, if, among 

other things, the agency finds that the 

public will be served by the granting of 

the license. The statute requires that no 

exclusive license may be granted unless 

public notice of the intent to grant the 

license has been provided, and the 

agency has considered all comments 

received in response to that public 

notice, before the end of the comment 

period. 

Radiation Detection Technologies, 

Inc., of Manhattan, Kansas has applied 

for an exclusive license to practice the 

inventions embodied in U.S. Patent No. 

6,545,281 and has plans for 

commercialization of the inventions. 

The exclusive license will be subject 

to a license and other rights retained by 

the U.S. Government, and other terms 

and conditions to be negotiated. DOE 

intends to negotiate to grant the license, 

unless, within 30 days of this notice, the 

Assistant General Counsel for 

Technology Transfer and Intellectual 

Property, Department of Energy, 

Washington, DC 20585, receives in 

writing any of the following, together 

with supporting documents: 

(i) A statement from any person 

setting forth reason why it would not be 

in the best interests of the United States 

to grant the proposed license; or 

(ii) An application for a nonexclusive 

license to the invention in which 

applicant states that it already has 

brought the invention to practical 

application or is likely to bring the 

invention to practical application 

expeditiously. 

The Department will review all timely 

written responses to this notice, and 

will proceed with negotiating the 

license if, after consideration of written 

responses to this notice, a finding is 

made that the license is in the public 

interest.
