There was an error in the third line in which ``Take Out This Space'' was added after ``Notice of Intent to Grant Partially Exclusive Term License'' and needed to be deleted. NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially- exclusive term license in the United States to practice the invention described and claimed in U.S. Patent 6,760,487 entitled, ``Estimated Spectrum Adaptive Postfilter And The Iterative Prepost Filtering Algorithms'', and in U.S. Patent 9,414,072 entitled ``Improved Performance of the JPEG Estimated Spectrum Adaptive Postfilter (JPEG- ESAP) for Low Bit Rates'' to Human Health Organization (``H2O''), having its principal place of business in Studio City, CA. DATES: The prospective partially-exclusive term license may be granted unless NASA receives written objections, including evidence and argument no later than February 1, 2018, that establish that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements regarding the licensing of federally owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh- Dole Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed and received by NASA no later than February 1, 2018 will also be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive license. Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will [[Page 2470]] not be released under the Freedom of Information Act. ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be submitted to Patent Counsel, Bryan A. Geurts, Goddard Space Flight Center, 8800 Greenbelt Road M/S 140.1, Greenbelt MD 20771.
