The inventions listed below are assigned to the United States (U.S.) Government as represented by the Secretary of the Army and are available for licensing by the Department of the Army (DoA): <bullet> U.S. Patent Number 7,812,366 entitled ``Ultraviolet Light Emitting AlGaN Composition, and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device Containing Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue date October 12, 2010. <bullet> U.S. Patent Number 8,564,014 entitled ``Ultraviolet Light Emitting AlGaN Composition and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device Containing Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue date October 22, 2013. <bullet> U.S. Patent 7,498,182 entitled ``Method of Manufacturing an AlGaN Composition and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device Containing Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue Date March 3, 2009. The novel claims of these patents are not specific to the growth method used in the production of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and apply to any Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlGaN) composition containing self-assembled nanometer-scale compositional inhomogeneities that are localized in more than one dimension, and includes wells, dots, and wires. These patents are relevant to a large portion of semiconductor UV LED industry, which employ some degree of nanoscale compositional inhomogeneity to enhance ultraviolet light emission, regardless of growth method. Further, a semiconductor UV light emitting device having an active region layer comprised of the AlGaN composition is provided, as well as a method of producing the AlGaN composition and semiconductor UV light emitting device, involving molecular beam epitaxy.

SUMMARY: The inventions listed below are assigned to the United States 
(U.S.) Government as represented by the Secretary of the Army and are 
available for licensing by the Department of the Army (DoA):
     U.S. Patent Number 7,812,366 entitled ``Ultraviolet Light 
Emitting AlGaN Composition, and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device 
Containing Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue date October 12, 
2010.
     U.S. Patent Number 8,564,014 entitled ``Ultraviolet Light 
Emitting AlGaN Composition and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device 
Containing Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue date October 22, 
2013.
     U.S. Patent 7,498,182 entitled ``Method of Manufacturing 
an AlGaN Composition and Ultraviolet Light Emitting Device Containing 
Same'', Inventors Sampath et al., Issue Date March 3, 2009.
    The novel claims of these patents are not specific to the growth 
method used in the production of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes 
(LEDs) and apply to any Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlGaN) composition 
containing self-assembled nanometer-scale compositional inhomogeneities 
that are localized in more than one dimension, and includes wells, 
dots, and wires. These patents are relevant to a large portion of 
semiconductor UV LED industry, which employ some degree of nanoscale 
compositional inhomogeneity to enhance ultraviolet light emission, 
regardless of growth method. Further, a semiconductor UV light emitting 
device having an active region layer comprised of the AlGaN composition 
is provided, as well as a method of producing the AlGaN composition and 
semiconductor UV light emitting device, involving molecular beam 
epitaxy.

DATES: Request for supplemental information should be made prior to 
March 31, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Request for supplemental information, including licensing 
application packages and procedures should be directed to John 
Millemaci, 301-645-6637, [email protected], Energetics Technology 
Center (ETC), 4185 Indian Head Highway, Indian Head, MD 20640.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory 
Technology Transfer Office, RDRL-DPP/Thomas Mulkern, Building 321 Room 
110, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5425. Phone: (410) 278-0889, 
Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Army intends to move expeditiously 
to license these inventions. Licensing application packages are 
available from ETC and all applications and commercialization plans 
must be returned to ETC by May 1, 2018. ETC is an authorized Department 
of Defense Partnership Intermediary per Authority 15 U.S.C. 3715. ETC 
will turn over all completed applications to the U.S. Army for 
evaluation by May 28, 2017, with final negotiations and awards 
occurring during the months of June and July, 2018. The U.S. Army will 
consider requests for nonexclusive, partially exclusive, and fully 
exclusive licenses in the U.S. and may prefer to grant an exclusive 
license to a company capable of broad commercialization as well as 
patent maintenance and enforcement within the U.S.
    The DoA intends to ensure that its licensed inventions are broadly 
commercialized throughout the United States.
