SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Department of the Air Force intends to grant an exclusive patent license agreement for the invention described in:

• U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/054,835, entitled, “EBOLAVIRUS PREHAIRPIN INTERMEDIATE MIMICS,” by Tracy Clinton, Michael Jacobsen, Matthew Weinstock, Brett Welch, Debra Eckert, and Michael Kay, and filed on 24 September 2014; and
• International Application No. PCT/US15/052,061, entitled, “EBOLAVIRUS PRE-HAIRPIN INTERMEDIATE MIMICS AND METHODS OF USE,” by Tracy Clinton, Michael Jacobsen, Matthew Weinstock, Brett Welch, Debra Eckert, and Michael Kay, filed on 24 September 2015, and published as International Application Publication No. WO 2016/049380.

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.
