ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of these 

patent applications, inquiries, comment 

and other materials relating to the 

contemplated license should be directed 

to Susan S. Rucker, Esq., Senior 

Technology Licensing Specialist, Office 

of Technology Transfer, National 

Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive 

Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852–3804; telephone: 301/ 

435–4478; fax: 301/402–0220; or e-mail: 

ruckersu@mail.nih.gov. A signed 

Confidentiality Agreement (CDA) will 

be required to receive copies of the 

patent applications not otherwise 

publicly available. Interested parties 

may obtain copies of U.S. patents and 

pending U.S. patent applications at 

http://www.uspto.gov. European patents 

and patent applications as well as other 

international patent documents are 

available at: http://www.epoline.org. 

Information on Canadian Patents is 

available at: http://patents1.ic.gc.ca/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

patents and patent applications describe 

and claim compositions and methods 

that incorporate or are derived from the 

molecule known as alpha plateletderived growth factor receptor (aPDGFR). a-PDGFR is also known as 

CD140a/PDGFRA/PDGF2/PDGFR-a. 

PDGFR-a is a type III receptor tyrosine 

kinase characterised by an extracellular 

domain having five IgG-like domains, a 

transmembrane domain and a catalytic 

intracellular domain. Research suggests 

it has autocrine and paracrine signaling 

capability. PDGFRA expression and 

signaling have been linked to 

tumorigenesis and its activity, although 

not always coupled with overexpression, has been implicated in a 

number of cancers including lung 

cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, 

glioblastoma and melanoma. 

The prospective option to a coexclusive license will be royalty bearing 

and will comply with the terms and 

conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 

404.7. This prospective option to a coexclusive license may be granted unless 

within sixty (60) days from the date of 

this published notice, NIH receives 

written evidence and argument that 

establishes that the grant of the license 

would not be consistent with the 

requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 

CFR 404.7. 

Applications for a license (i.e., a 

completed ‘‘Application for License to 

Public Health Service Inventions’’) in 

the indicated exclusive field of use filed 

in response to this notice will be treated 

as objections to the grant of the 

contemplated option to a co-exclusive 

license. Comments and objections will 

not be made available for public 

inspection and, to the extent permitted 

by law, will not be subject to disclosure 

under the Freedom of Information Act 5 

U.S.C. 552.
