This corporation must investigate and report on chemistry topics related to national defense when the military asks, gets paid only for actual expenses, and the government owns any resulting defense-related inventions.

(a) Research on request. When the Secretary of the Army, Air Force, or Navy asks, the corporation must investigate, examine, experiment, and report on any subject in pure or applied chemistry connected to national defense.

The actual cost of that work is paid from money appropriated for that purpose, but the corporation cannot be paid any compensation for services it performs for the government beyond that expense reimbursement. (c) Ownership of inventions. If the relevant Secretary believes an invention or discovery made during this work involves national defense, ownership of it goes to the government. For other inventions and discoveries made during this work, the government gets an unlimited license to use them.
