The regulations in this part are issued under the authority contained in Executive Order 9865 dated June 14, 1947. Under the Executive order, the Secretary of Commerce is required, where the best interests of the United States so indicate, to file patent applications in foreign countries covering inventions resulting from Government conducted or financed research embodied in United States patents owned by the Government of the United States. The Secretary of Commerce having obtained such foreign patent rights for the United States Government may issue licenses thereunder to nationals of the United States who make application therefor.

§ 601.2 Application for licenses.

ices Administration. It should set forth the name and address of the individual, partnership, or corporation desiring the license, a brief description of the business activities in which engaged, and such other pertinent information as may be desired. The Government of the United States is interested in the maximum use being made of patented processes and devices which it owns, and, accordingly, the Secretary of Commerce will consider the likely ability of the applicant to use the patented process or device before determining that a license should or should not issue.

§ 601.3 Type of license.

Under existing law, the United States can issue only licenses which are revocable at will. Licenses will also be nonexclusive and royalty-free except where the Secretary of Commerce shall determine and proclaim it to be inconsistent with the public interest to issue licenses on such a basis.

§ 601.4 Conditions in licenses.

The licenses to be issued will be granted on the following express conditions: (a) The Government of the United States will not guarantee the validity of the patent covered by the license, nor will it undertake to defend any suits brought against the licensees or to indemnify for infringement of the patent; (b) the Government of the United States will reserve the right at any time to grant additional licenses; and (c) the Govern

ment will reserve the right to revoke the license at any time. It will also be provided in the license that it be nontransferable.

§ 601.5

Revocation.

Although licenses issued under the regulations in this part are revocable at

will, licenses will not ordinarily be revoked. The occurrence of the following may, however, result in the revocation of the license: (a) Failure to abide by the terms and conditions of the license; (b) failure to use the process or device covered by the patent; (c) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the licensee.

Agents or operating agents must respond where acting for foreign operators, unless the operator has his own office in the United States to which the agent is accountable or unless the operator elects to report directly from his home office.

(2) The Department of Commerce may in lieu of individual reports required

under this part, accept consolidated reports from foreign governments covering the operations of their national shipping concerns when, in its discretion, such consolidated reports would provide the information required by this part. Where such reports are accepted, the individual reports from operators or their agents will not be required.

(b) The foreign operator, for purposes of this part, means the owner, managing or operating owner, chartered owner, or subchartered owner who enters into and carries out any form of transportation contract with the shippers of merchandise or with passengers.

(c) If foreign-owned vessels or aircraft are chartered to other foreign operators, the owner should report his expenses in the United States, if any, and the operator should report the freight or charter revenue earned from the shippers of merchandise and his expenses in the United States.

(d) If foreign-owned vessels or aircraft are chartered to a United States operator, the owner should report his expenses in the United States, if any.

(e) Reports submitted by agents should include all disbursements accounted for directly by them to the foreign company at its foreign office; if subagents report through a principal agent in the same or another location, the principal agent should file a consolidated report on behalf of the foreign company.

§ 802.2 Forms to be used. Vessel operators shall report on Form BE-29, Aircraft operators shall report on Form BE-36.1
