in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section requires research under the chapter to be publicly available, except for limits the Secretary finds necessary for national defense. It also allows the Secretary to make reasonable patent-use agreements when they would further the chapter’s purposes.

Research under this chapter may not be carried out, commissioned, sponsored, jointly sponsored, or authorized unless all resulting information, uses, products, processes, patents, and other developments will be available to the general public. The Secretary may make exceptions or limits that the Secretary finds necessary for national defense. If the Secretary believes patented processes or equipment would further the chapter’s purposes, the Secretary may make agreements needed to obtain or use the patents on reasonable terms and conditions.

No research shall be carried out, contracted for, sponsored, cosponsored, or authorized under authority of this chapter, unless all information, uses, products, processes, patents, and other developments resulting from such research will (with such exceptions and limitations, if any, as the Secretary may find to be necessary in the interest of national defense) be available to the general public. Whenever in the estimation of the Secretary the purposes of this chapter would be furthered through the use of patented processes or equipment, the Secretary is authorized to enter into such agreements as he deems necessary for the acquisition or use of such patents on reasonable terms and conditions.
