Sec. 746.8  Additional licenses.

    Subject to any outstanding licenses, nothing in this part shall 
preclude the Chief of Naval Research from granting additional 
nonexclusive or limited exclusive licenses for government inventions 
when he determines that to do so would provide for an equitable exchange 
of patent rights. The following exemplify circumstances wherein such 
licenses may be granted:
    (a) In consideration of the settlement of an interference;
    (b) In consideration of a release of a claim of infringement; or
    (c) In exchange for, or as part of, the consideration for a license 
under adversely held patents.
