ACTION: Notice; prospective grant of
exclusive patent license.
AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’),
U.S. Department of Commerce, is

its territories, possessions and
commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in
the invention embodied in U.S. Patent
Application No. 15/596,243, titled
‘‘Linear Absorption Spectrometer to
Optically Determine an Absolute Mole
Fraction of Radiocarbon in a Sample’’
(NIST Docket 17–011) to Planetary
Emissions Management, Inc. The grant
of the license would be for
determination of carbon-14 isotope
concentration in samples in all fields.
DATES: The prospective exclusive
license may be granted unless 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 by August 9, 2017.
