209(c) provides the DOE with authority 

to grant exclusive or partially exclusive

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 expeditiously to be achieved, 

under a nonexclusive license. The 

statute and implementing regulations 

(37 CFR part 404) require that the 

necessary determinations be made after 

public notice and opportunity for filing 

written objections. 

Pyrochem Catalyst Corporation, a new 

small business, has applied for an 

exclusive license to practice the

commercialization of the invention. 

DOE intends to grant the license, upon

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 U.S. Government, 

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 grant is in the public 

interest.
