SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract The NIST DN–45 Invention Disclosure Form is used to collect information pertaining to inventions created by Federal employees or by nonFederally employed individuals who have created an invention using NIST laboratory facilities as NIST Associates. The collection of this information is required to protect the United States rights to inventions created using Federal resources. The information collected on the form allows the Government to determine: (1) if an invention has been created; (2) the status of any statutory bar that pertains to the potential invention or that may pertain to the invention in the future. The information collected may allow the Government to begin a patent application process. The Inventor Information Sheet is used to collect from individuals who have been named as potential inventors on a NIST Invention Disclosure Form. The collection of this information is used for multiple purposes: (1) Some of the information may be required to file a patent application, if NIST seeks to protect a federally owned invention, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 207.

(3) Some of the information is needed for NIST to determine potential assignees with which NIST would potentially negotiate consolidation of rights and other patent related matters. (4) Some of the information helps NIST determine under which statutory authority NIST may consolidate rights in an invention with other potential assignees. (5) Country citizenship information is required to determine whether a Scientific and Technology agreement or treaty with the respondent’s country may impact the U.S. Government’s rights to the invention. The information is collected by the Technology Partnerships Office and shared with the Office of Chief Counsel at NIST. The information may also be shared with non-Governmental entities that may have ownership rights to the potential invention. The Government collects this information to execute the policy and objective of the Congress expressed at 35 U.S.C. 200. 35 U.S.C. 207 authorizes Federal agencies to apply for, obtain, and maintain patents or other forms of protection on inventions in which the Federal Government owns a right, title, or interest. 35 U.S.C. 207 also authorizes each Federal agency to undertake all other suitable and necessary steps to protect and administer rights to federally owned inventions on behalf of the Federal government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The NIST DN-45 Invention Disclosure Form is used to collect 
information pertaining to inventions created by Federal employees or by 
non-Federally employed individuals who have created an invention using 
NIST laboratory facilities as NIST Associates. The collection of this 
information is required to protect the United States rights to 
inventions created using Federal resources. The information collected 
on the form allows the Government to determine: (1) if an invention has 
been created; (2) the status of any statutory bar that pertains to the 
potential invention or that may pertain to the invention in the future. 
The information collected may allow the Government to begin a patent 
application process.
    The Inventor Information Sheet is used to collect from individuals 
who have been named as potential inventors on a NIST Invention 
Disclosure Form. The collection of this information is used for 
multiple purposes:
    (1) Some of the information may be required to file a patent 
application, if NIST seeks to protect a federally owned invention, 
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 207.

[[Page 53459]]

    (2) The form, in part, is a statement made by the respondent 
declaring whether the respondent considers herself/himself to be an 
inventor.
    (3) Some of the information is needed for NIST to determine 
potential assignees with which NIST would potentially negotiate 
consolidation of rights and other patent related matters.
    (4) Some of the information helps NIST determine under which 
statutory authority NIST may consolidate rights in an invention with 
other potential assignees.
    (5) Country citizenship information is required to determine 
whether a Scientific and Technology agreement or treaty with the 
respondent's country may impact the U.S. Government's rights to the 
invention.
    The information is collected by the Technology Partnerships Office 
and shared with the Office of Chief Counsel at NIST. The information 
may also be shared with non-Governmental entities that may have 
ownership rights to the potential invention. The Government collects 
this information to execute the policy and objective of the Congress 
expressed at 35 U.S.C. 200. 35 U.S.C. 207 authorizes Federal agencies 
to apply for, obtain, and maintain patents or other forms of protection 
on inventions in which the Federal Government owns a right, title, or 
interest. 35 U.S.C. 207 also authorizes each Federal agency to 
undertake all other suitable and necessary steps to protect and 
administer rights to federally owned inventions on behalf of the 
Federal government. The information collected through the NIST DN-45 is 
necessary for NIST to execute the authority granted at 35 U.S.C. 207.
