SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Department of the Air Force intends to grant the exclusive patent license agreement to consolidate rights with co-owner The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System for the invention described in: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 62/748,888, filed October 22, 2018, and entitled “Multilayered Sheet-Polarizers with Enhanced Polarization Ratio and High Power Tolerance.”

The consolidation of rights is in the best interest of both owners in order to promote commercialization of the technology. The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed license.
