Possible Exclusive Patent License
NASA intends to grant SynMatter LLC an exclusive, co-exclusive, or partially exclusive U.S. patent license for U.S. Patent No. 10,767,058, titled "Controlled Release Materials for Anti-Corrosion Agents." If you are a business that wants to use this patented technology, NASA will treat written objections or competing applications received no later than January 30, 2025 as grounds to oppose the license.
License May Be Limited by Field
NASA states that the "fields of use may be limited" for the contemplated license to SynMatter LLC. The license, if granted, could therefore be restricted to particular uses, and NASA also notes it may still deny the requested license even if no objections are submitted by January 30, 2025.
