Preference for United States built vessels In awarding operating agreements for ves- sels within a priority under subsection (i)(1), (2), or (3) of this section, the Secretary shall give preference to a vessel that was con- structed in the United States, to the extent such preference is consistent with establish- ment of a fleet described in the first sentence of section 1187(a) of this Appendix (taking into account the age of the vessel, the nature of service provided by the vessel, and the com- mercial viability of the vessel).
Preference for United States. Industry Seller agrees that neither it nor any assignee will grant to any person the exclusive right to use or sell any subject inventions in the United States unless such person agrees that any products embodying the subject invention or produced through the use of the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States. However, in individual cases, the requirement for such an agreement may be waived by the Buyer and the Office of Naval Research upon a showing by the Seller or its assignee that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that under the circumstances domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.
