Requests for Waiver of Rights. 1. Under NASA Patent Waiver Regulations, 14 C.F.R. Part 1245, Subpart 1, an advance waiver may be requested prior to execution of this Agreement, or within thirty (30) days afterwards. Waiver of an identified invention made and reported under this Agreement may still be requested, even if a request for an advance waiver was not made or was not granted.
2. Each request for waiver is by petition to the Administrator and shall include:
a. an identification of the petitioner, its place of business and address;
b. if petitioner is represented by counsel, the name, address, and telephone number of counsel;
c. the signature of the petitioner or authorized representative; and d. the date of signature.
3. No specific form is required, but the petition should also contain:
a. a statement that waiver of rights is requested under the NASA Patent Waiver Regulations;
b. a clear indication of whether the petition is an advance waiver or a waiver of an individual identified invention;
c. whether foreign rights are also requested and for which countries;
d. a citation of the specific section(s) of the regulations under which are requested;
e. whether the petitioner is an entity of or under the control of a foreign government; and
f. the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s point-of-contact.
4. Submit petitions for waiver to the Patent Representative for forwarding to the Inventions and Contributions Board. If the Board makes findings to support the waiver, it recommends to the Administrator that waiver be granted. The Board also informs Patent Representative if there is insufficient time or information to process a petition for an advance waiver without unduly delaying the execution of the Agreement. Patent Representative will notify petitioner of this information. Once a petition is acted on, the Board notifies petitioner. If waiver is granted, any conditions, reservations, and obligations are included in the Instrument of Waiver. Petitioner may request reconsideration of Board recommendations adverse to its request.
