    (a) NASA will publish in the United States, and elsewhere as may be 

appropriate, lists of NASA-owned foreign patents or patent applications 

available for licensing.

    (b) NASA will also furnish written notice of the availability for 

licensing of NASA-owned foreign patents or patent applications to any 

licensee under the corresponding U.S. patent or patent application.

    (c) Applications for license should be addressed to the 

Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 

Washington, DC 20456. The application must fully identify the patent or 

patent application, and state the type of license requested together 

with proposed terms and conditions thereof.

    (d) The conduct of negotiations with prospective licensees will be 

the responsibility of the General Counsel, NASA. In the conduct of such 

negotiations, due regard shall be had for the possible interests of NASA 

program and staff offices, and their coordination will be obtained as 

deemed appropriate.

    (e) NASA will publish notice in the Federal Register, and elsewhere 

as may be appropriate, of its intention to grant an exclusive license 

under an identified patent or patent application. An exclusive license 

will not be granted until the expiration of 60 days from the date of 

notice in order to provide a suitable time interval for interested 

persons or other Government agencies to interpose comment or objection.

    (f) All licenses shall become effective upon the written acceptance 

by the licensee of a license instrument specifying the type of license 

and terms and conditions thereof.
