    No research shall be carried out, contracted for, sponsored, 
cosponsored, or authorized under authority of this chapter, unless all 
information, uses, products, processes, patents, and other developments 
resulting from such research will (with such exceptions and limitations,

national defense) be available to the general public. Whenever in the

necessary for the acquisition or use of such patents on reasonable terms 
and conditions.
