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. 

Intrepid Robotics, Inc., of Houston,

license to practice the inventions 

embodied in U.S. Patent No. 8,122,780

the inventions. 

The exclusive license will be subject 

to a license and other rights retained by 

the U.S. Government, and other terms
