# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Abstract

                    NASA grants patent licenses for the commercial application of NASA-owned inventions. Each licensee is                           ( print page 3940)                        required to report annually on its activities in commercializing its licensed inventions(s) and on any royalties due. NASA attorneys use this information to determine if a licensee is achieving and maintaining practical application of the licensed inventions as required by its license agreement.
