This is notice, in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(i), that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), is
contemplating the grant of a worldwide
exclusive license, to practice the
invention embodied in: HHS Ref. No. E–
061–2004/0 ‘‘Mucus Shaving Apparatus
for Endotracheal Tubes’’; U.S. Patent
7,051,737 to EndOclear, LLC, a
company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Michigan having its
headquarters in Petoskey, Michigan.
The United States of America is the
assignee of the rights of the above
inventions. The contemplated exclusive
license may be granted in a field of use
limited to devices for clearing mucus
from endotracheal tubes.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
applications for a license received by
the NIH Office of Technology Transfer
on or before September 23, 2011 will be
considered.
ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the
patent application, inquiries, comments
and other materials relating to the
contemplated license should be directed
to: Michael A. Shmilovich, Esq., Office
of Technology Transfer, National
Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive
Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD
20852–3804; Telephone: (301) 435–
5019; Facsimile: (301) 402–0220; E-mail:
[email protected]. A signed
confidentiality nondisclosure agreement
will be required to receive copies of any
patent applications that have not been
published or issued by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the
World Intellectual Property
Organization.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The patent
intended for licensure covers an
endotracheal tube cleaning apparatus
which is inserted into the inside of an
endotracheal tube to shave away mucus
deposits. Mucus deposits contribute to
bacterial growth and put intubated
patients at risk for ventilator associated
pneumonia (VAP). The preferred
embodiment as recited in the claims is
a cleaning apparatus with a flexible
central tube and an inflatable balloon at
its distal end. Affixed to the inflatable

balloon are one or more shaving rings
each having a squared leading edge to
shave away mucus accumulations. In
operation, the uninflated cleaning
apparatus is inserted into the
endotracheal tube and the balloon is
then inflated by a suitable inflation
device, such as a syringe, until the
balloon’s shaving rings are pressed
against the inside surface of the
endotracheal tube. The cleaning
apparatus is then pulled out of the
endotracheal tube to shave off mucus
deposits.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing and will comply with
the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C.
209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless,
within thirty (30) days from the date of
this published notice, NIH receives
written evidence and argument that
establishes that the grant of the license
would not be consistent with the
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR 404.7.
Properly filed competing applications
for a license filed in response to this
notice will be treated as objections to
the contemplated license. Comments
and objections submitted in response to
this notice will not be made available
for public inspection, and, to the extent
permitted by law, will not be released
under the Freedom of Information Act,
5 U.S.C. 552.
