DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Institutes of Health

Prospective Grant of Co-exclusive

License: ‘‘Ultra Thin Walled Wire

Reinforced Endotracheal Tubing’’

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health,

Public Health Service, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This is notice, in accordance

with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR

404.7(a)(1)(i), that the National

Institutes of Health, Department of

Health and Human Services, is

contemplating the grant of a coexclusive license to practice the

inventions embodied in U.S. Patent

Application S/N 08/645,887 entitled,

‘‘Ultra Thin Walled Wire Reinforced

Endotracheal Tubing’’ filed on May 15,

1996 and now U.S. Patent 5,722,395

which issued on March 3, 1998 to

Mallinckrodt, Inc. of St. Louis, MO. The

patent rights in these inventions have

been assigned to the United States of

America.

The prospective co-exclusive license

territory will be for the United States.

DATES: Only written comments and/or

application for a license which are

received by the NIH Office of

Technology Transfer on or before

August 7, 2000 will be considered.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the

patent, inquiries, comments and other

materials relating to the contemplated

exclusive license should be directed to:

Girish C. Barua, Ph.D., Office of

Technology Transfer, National Institutes

of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard,

Suite 325, Rockville, MD. 20852–3804.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: U.S.

Patent 5,722,395 claims an ultra thin

walled wire reinforced endotracheal

tubing which includes a thin walled

tubing comprising a polymeric material

having a spring material incorporated

therewith. Utilization of the spring wire

material in combination with polymeric

material results in a reduced wall

thickness which results in a significant

decrease in resistance to air flow

through the endotracheal tubing and

therefore should permit a patient to

breathe in more relaxed fashion so as

not to become exhausted. The

endotracheal tubing of the present

invention is made by depositing a

dissolvable polymeric material onto a

rotating mandrel in successive layers. A

spring material is also applied around

the mandrel to produce the ultra thin

walled wire reinforced endotracheal

tubing.

The prospective co-exclusive license:

will be royalty-bearing; will comply

with the terms and conditions of 35

U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7; and it will

be structured in such a way not to

preclude the U.S. Public Health Service

from licensing the patent rights of U.S.

Patents 5,305,740, 5,429,127, 5,537,729,

5,711,296 and 5,785,998 and allowing

appropriate licensees the right to

practice these patent rights worldwide.

The prospective co-exclusive license

may be granted unless within sixty (60)

days from the date of this published

notice, the NIH receives written

evidence and argument that establish

that the grant of the license would not

be consistent with the requirements of

35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

Properly filed competing applications

for a license filed in response to this

notice will be treated as objections to

the contemplated license. Comments

and objections submitted to this notice

will not be made available for public

inspection and, to the extent permitted

by law, will not be released under the

Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.

552.
