Notice of Prospective Grant of Exclusive Patent License
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.
SUMMARY: This is a notice in accordance with 35 USC 209(c)(1) and 37
CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (``NIST''), U.S. Department of Commerce, is contemplating
the grant of an exclusive license in the United States to practice the
invention embodied in U.S. Patent Application Number 08/487,557,
titled, ``Pre-Ceramic Polymers in Fabrication of Ceramic Composites,''
in the field of use of dental and costmetic products, to Vident, having
a place of business in Brea, California.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bruce E. Mattson, National Institute
of Standards and Technology, Industrial Partnerships Program, Building
820, Room 213, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The prosective exclusive license will be
royalty-bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be
granted unless, within sixty days from the date of this published
Notice, NIST receives written evidence and argument which establish
that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
U.S. Patent Application Number 08/487,557 provides composites in
the form of a three-dimensional framework or skeleton of ceramic
particles which are formed by a low cost, low temperature sintering
process which decomposes a pre-ceramic inorganic or organic precursor.
NIST may enter into a Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (``CRADA'') with the licensee to perform further research on
the invention for purposes of commercialization. NIST may grant the
licensee an option to negotiate for exclusive licenses to any jointly
owned inventions which arise from the CRADA as well as an option to
negotiate for exclusive royalty-bearing licenses for NIST employee
inventions which arise from the CRADA.
The availability of the invention for licensing was published in
the Federal Register, Vol. 61, No. 107 (June 2, 1996). A copy of the
patent application may be obtained from NIST at the Foregoing Address.
Dated: February 6, 1997.
