Sec. 746.12  Litigation.

    The property interest in a patent is the right to exclude. It is not 
the intent of the Government to transfer the property right in a patent 
when a license is issued pursuant to this part. Accordingly, the right 
to sue for infringement shall be retained with respect to all licenses 
so issued by the Government.
