ACTION:
Notice.
This is notice, in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404, that
the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
Department of Health and Human
Services, is contemplating the grant of a
worldwide exclusive license to practice
the inventions embodied in: HHS Ref.
No. E–553–2013/0, U.S. Provisional
Patent Application No. 61/863,071, filed
August 7, 2013; International Patent
Application PCT/US2013/072344 filed
November 27, 2013 entitled
‘‘Transvascular and Transcameral
Device Access And Closure,’’ to
Transmural Systems, LLC, a limited
liability company incorporated under
the laws of the State of Massachusetts
and having its principle place of
business in Andover, Massachusetts.
The contemplated exclusive license
may be limited to caval-aortic devices
for aortic valve replacement.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
applications for a license that are
received by the NIH Office of
Technology Transfer on or before
October 5, 2015 will be considered.
ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the
patent application, inquiries, comments
and other materials relating to the
contemplated license should be directed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
technology pertains to devices and
methods for transcatheter correction of
cardiovascular abnormalities and more
specifically for the delivery of prosthetic
valves to the heart. Featured is a device
implant for closing a caval-aortic
iatrogenic fistula created by the
introduction of a transcatheter device
from the inferior vena cava into the
abdominal aorta. The occlusion device
includes an expandable transvascular
implant with an elastomeric surface
capable of extending between a vein and
artery which conforms to the boundaries
of an arteriovenous fistula tract between
the artery and vein. A guidewire
channel is disposed within the
occlusion device wherein the channel
also has elastomeric wall surfaces that
conform or can be expanded to the area
so that it occludes the channel when the
guidewire is not present. The implant is
resiliently deformable into a radially
compressed configuration for delivery
through the catheter. When the device is
not deformed into the radially
compressed configuration, the distal
end of the device is radially enlarged
relative to the intermediate neck
whereby the distal end forms an
enlarged distal skirt, such as a disk or
button shaped member. A polymer
coating on the radially enlarged distal
end conforms to the endoluminal aortic
wall for deployment against an internal
wall of the artery.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless,
within thirty (30) days from the date of
this published notice, NIH receives
written evidence and argument that
establishes that the grant of the license
would not be consistent with the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR 404.
Properly filed competing applications
for a license filed in response to this
notice will be treated as objections to
the contemplated license. Comments
and objections submitted in response to
this notice will not be made available
for public inspection, and, to the extent
permitted by law, will not be released
under the Freedom of Information Act,
5 U.S.C. 552.
