(2) In those countries in which the Recipient fails to file patent applications
within the times specified in (c) above; provided, however, that if the Recipient has
filed a patent application in a country after the times specified in (c) above, but
prior to its receipt of the written request of the Bureau of Reclamation, the
Recipient shall continue to retain title in that country.

(3) In any country in which the Recipient decides not to continue the
prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in
reexamination or opposition proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention.

(e) Minimum Rights to Recipient and Protection of the Recipient Right to File

(1) The Recipient will retain a nonexclusive royalty-free license throughout the
world in each subject invention to which the Government obtains title, except if the
Recipient fails to disclose the invention within the times specified in (c), above.
The Recipient's license extends to its domestic subsidiary and affiliates, if any,
within the corporate structure of which the Recipient is a party and includes the
right to grant sublicenses of the same scope to the extent the Recipient was
legally obligated to do so at the time the agreement was awarded. The license is
transferable only with the approval of the Bureau of Reclamation except when
transferred to the successor of that party of the Recipient's business to which the
invention pertains.

(2) The Recipient's domestic license may be revoked or modified by the Bureau
of Reclamation to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious practical
application of the subject invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive
license submitted in accordance with applicable provisions at 37 CFR part 404
and Bureau of Reclamation licensing regulations (if any). This license will not be
revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which the Recipient has
achieved practical application and continues to make the benefits of the invention
reasonably accessible to the public. The license in any foreign country may be
revoked or modified at the discretion of the Bureau of Reclamation to the extent
the Recipient, its licensees, or the domestic subsidiaries or affiliates have failed to
achieve practical application in that foreign country.
(3) Before revocation or modification of the license, the Bureau of Reclamation
will furnish the Recipient a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the
license, and the Recipient will be allowed thirty days (or such other time as may
be authorized by the Bureau of Reclamation for good cause shown by the
Recipient) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked
or modified. The Recipient has the right to appeal, in accordance with applicable
regulations in 37 CFR part 404 and Bureau of Reclamation regulations (if any)
concerning the licensing of Government-owned inventions, any decision
concerning the revocation or modification of the license.
