SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C.

209(c) provides the Department 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 part 404) require that the

necessary determinations be made after

public notice and opportunity for filing

written objections.

Woodward Industrial Controls of Fort

Collins, Colorado, has applied for an

exclusive license to practice the

inventions and has a plan for

commercialization of the inventions.

The proposed license will be

exclusive, subject to a license and other

rights retained by the U.S. Government,

and subject to a negotiated royalty. The

Department 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 written responses to

this notice, a determination is made, in

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c), that

the license grant is in the public

interest.

Issued: December 18, 2001.

procedures violate the terms of the

minute market.
