Sec. 5.12  Petition for license.

    (a) Filing of an application for patent for inventions made in the 
United States will be considered to include a petition for license under 
35 U.S.C. 184 for the subject matter of the application. The filing 
receipt will indicate if a license is granted. If the initial automatic 
petition is not granted, a subsequent petition may be filed under 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Petitions for license should be presented in letter form, and 
must include the petitioner's address and full instructions for delivery 
of the requested license when it is to be delivered to other than the 
petitioner. If expedited handling of the petition under this paragraph 
is sought, the petition must also include the fee set forth in 
Sec. 1.17(h).
