The proposed license will be exclusive, subject to a license and other rights retained by the United States, and subject to a negotiated royalty. The Department will review all timely written responses to this notice, and will grant the license if, after expiration of the 15-day notice period, and after consideration of any written responses to this notice, a determination is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c), that the license is in the public interest.
