a. If any program produces patentable items, patent rights, processes, or <br />inventions, in the course of work aided by a Federal grant, such fact shall be <br />promptly and fully reported to the grantor agency. Unless there is prior <br />agreement between the grantee and grantor on disposition of such items, <br />the grantor agency shall determine whether protection on such invention or <br />discovery shall be sought and how the rights in the invention or discovery -- <br />including rights under any patent issued thereon -- shall be allocated and <br />administered in order to protect the public interest consistent with <br />"Government Patent Policy" (President's Memorandum for Heads of <br />Executive Departments and Agencies, August 23, 1971, and Statement of <br />Government Patent Policy as printed in 36 F.R. 16889). <br />b. Where the grant results in a book or copyrightable material, the author or <br />grantee is free to copyright the work, but the Federal grantor agency <br />reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, <br />publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use the work for <br />Government purposes. <br />Page 29 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 33CB29C8-7F00-4973-826F-FE9B0CEAAEFB
