Section (5) (a) The Contractor, at the time of first disclosing an
invention pursuant to Section 1 of this clause, but
not later than three (3) months after, may submit
in writing to the Contracting Officer a request for
greater rights than the license retained by the
Contractor in Section 1 of this clause if: (a) the
invention is not the primary object of the contract,
and (b) the acquisition of such greater rights is a
necessary incentive to call forth private risk cap-
ital and expense to bring the invention to the point
of practicable application. Such request shall be
considered by the Assistant Secretary, who in re-
viewing the Contractor's request for greater rights
will take into consideration the most appropriate
means for making the results of such invention avail-
able to the public, including the dedication of all
patent rights, the patenting of the invention by the
Government, or the granting of the Contractor's re-
quest, in whole or in part. Any grant of such
greater rights shall be subject to the reservation of
an irrevocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontrans-
ferable license for the practice of the invention
throughout the world for governmental purposes.
(b) With respect to each invention on which the Contractor
obtains greater rights under paragraph (a) above, the
Contractor agrees to provide written reports at rea-
sonable intervals when requested by the Department on:
(i) The commercial use that is being made or is intended
to be made of each such invention or discovery; and
(ii) The steps taken by the Contractor, his licensee,
or his assignee, to bring the invention or discovery
to a point of practical application or to make the
invention or discovery available for licensing
royalty-free or on terms that are reasonable in
the circumstances.

(c) With respect to each invention or discovery in which
the Contractor obtains rights under paragraph (a)
above, the Contractor grants the Department:
(i) The right to require the granting of nonexclusive,
royalty-free licenses to applicants, unless the
Contractor, its licensee, or its assignee has
taken effective steps within three (3) years after
a patent issues on such invention or discovery to
bring the invention or discovery to the point of
practical application, or has made the invention
or discovery available for licensing royalty-free
or on terms that are reasonable in the circum-
stances, or can show cause why he should continue
to retain the principal or exclusive rights for a
further period of time; and

Section (2) The Contractor agrees:

(a) to cooperate in the preparation and prosecution of
any domestic or foreign patent application which the
Government may decide to undertake covering any
reported invention;

(b) to execute all papers required in the prosecution of
such patent applications, including the assignment
thereto to the United States Government; and
(c) to secure cooperation of Contractor's Technical Per-
sonnel in the preparation and execution of all such
papers as may be required in the prosecution of such
patent applications or in order to vest title in the
subject matter involved in the United States, or to
secure the right of free use thereof to the public.

Section (3) Prior to final payment under this contract, the Contractor shall file a final report disclosing to the Contracting Officer all inventions, improvements and discoveries developed in the performance of this contract, and shall certify on the last page of such report that to the best of his knowledge and belief such disclosure has been made therein or that there are no such unreported inventions.

Contractor retains sole rights under Section 1, the Con-
tractor agrees to provide written reports at reasonable

If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that the costs which he expects to incur in the performance of this contract in the next succeeding sixty (60) days, when added to all costs previously incurred, will exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the estimated cost then set forth in the Schedule, or if at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that the total cost to the Government, exclusive of any fixed fee, for the performance of this contract will be greater or substantially less than the then estimated cost thereof, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing to that effect, giving the revised estimate of such total cost for the performance of this contract.

(b) The Government shall not be obligated to reimburse the Contractor for costs incurred in excess of the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule, and the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance under the contract or to incur costs in excess of the estimated cost set forth in the Schedule, unless and until the Contracting Officer shall have notified the Contractor in writing that such estimated cost has been increased and shall have specified in such notice a revised estimated cost which shall thereupon constitute the estimated cost of performance When and to the extent that the of this contract. estimated cost set forth in the Schedule has been increased, any costs incurred by the Contractor in excess of such estimated cost prior to the increase in estimated cost shall be allowable to the same extent as if such costs had been incurred after such increase in estimated cost.

(d) At any time or times prior to final payment under this contract the Contracting Officer may have the invoices or vouchers and statements of cost audited. Each payment theretofore made shall be subject to reduction for amounts included in the related invoice or voucher which are found by the Contracting Officer, on the basis of such audit, not to constitute allowable cost. Any payment may be reduced for overpayments, or increased for underpayments, on preceding invoices or vouchers.

(e) On receipt and approval of the invoice or voucher designated by the Contractor as the "completion invoice" or "completion voucher" and upon compliance by the Contractor with all the provisions of this contract (including, without limitation, the provisions relating to patents and the provisions of (f) below), the Government shall promptly pay to the Contractor any balance of allowable cost, and any part of the fixed fee, which has been withheld pursuant to (c) above or otherwise not paid to the Contractor.
