    (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.
