Notice of Intent To Grant an Exclusive Patent License

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant an exclusive patent license.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant an exclusive 
patent license in the United States to practice the invention described 
and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 9,617,069 entitled ``Thermal Insulation 
System for Non-Vacuum Applications Including a Multilayer Composite,'' 
NASA Case Number KSC-13777, to Cryotek, LLC, having its principal place 
of business in Titusville, Florida. NASA has not yet made a 
determination to grant the requested license and may deny the requested 
license even if no objections are submitted within the comment period.

DATES: The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless NASA 
receives written objections, including evidence and argument no later 
than August 4, 2020 that establish that the grant of the license would 
not be consistent with the requirements regarding the licensing of 
federally owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh-Dole Act and 
implementing regulations. Competing applications completed and received 
by NASA no later than August 4, 2020 will also be treated as objections 
to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive license. 
Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made 
available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by 
law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Mark Homer, Patent Counsel, Office of the Chief Counsel,
