NASA plans to grant an exclusive, co-exclusive, or partially exclusive patent license for a specific invention, a micro non-planar ring oscillator, to AVO Photonics, Inc. This decision is not final, and NASA will consider objections and competitive applications submitted by March 31, 2025. These objections should contain evidence showing that the patent license would not align with federal regulations. For further inquiries, individuals can contact NASAβs Agency Counsel for Intellectual Property.
Simple Explanation
NASA wants to give permission to a company called AVO Photonics, Inc. to use an invention, but they are also open to hearing from other people who might want to use it, too, until the end of March 2025.
