    retained by the U.S. Government, and other terms and conditions to be

    not be in the best interest of the United States to grant the proposed 
    license; or

    which applicant states that it already has brought the invention to 
    practical application or is likely to bring the invention to practical 
    application expeditiously, for application in the chemical process 
    industry.
        The proposed license will be partially exclusive, i.e. limited to 
    application in the chemical process industry, subject to a license and
