SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

209(c) gives DOE with 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 

expeditiously to be achieved, 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 

objections. 

Corrosion Solutions, a new small 

business, has applied for an exclusive 

license to practice the inventions and 

has a plan for commercialization of the 

invention. 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, NETL’s Office of Chief 

Counsel (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 the 

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 would be exclusive, 

subject to a license and other rights retained 

by the U.S. Government, and subject to a 

negotiated royalty. DOE 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 Section 209(c) that the 

license is in the public interest.
