The patent rights in this invention have been assigned to the Government of the United States of America and to Laboratoire HRA Pharma. The exclusive license contemplated in this notice is solely to the patent rights assigned to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide, and the field of use may be limited to: The use of ulipristal acetate for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.
DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license which are received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before July 22, 2011 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the patent application, inquiries, comments, and other materials relating to the contemplated exclusive license should be directed to: Patrick P.

(30)days from the date of this published notice. Applications for a license in the field of use filed in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated exclusive license.
