SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C. 

209(c) provides DOE the authority to 

grant exclusive or partially exclusive 

licenses in Department-owned 

inventions where a determination can 

be made, among other things, that the 

desired practical application of the 

invention has not been achieved, or is 

not likely to be achieved expeditiously, 

under a nonexclusive license. The 

statute and implementing regulations 

(37 CFR 404) require that the necessary 

determinations be made after public 

notice and opportunity for filing written 

comments and objections. 

Pyrochem Catalyst Company, a small 

business, has applied for an exclusive 

license to practice the inventions and 

has a plan for commercialization of the 

inventions. DOE intends to grant the 

license, upon a final determination in 

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c), 

unless within 15 days of publication of 

this notice the NETL Technology 

Transfer Manager (contact information 

listed above), receives in writing any of 

the following, together with the 

supporting documents: 

(i) A statement from any person setting 

forth reasons why it would not be in the best 

interest 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 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.
