This thesis traces the development of Section 1498 of Title 28 of
the United States Code. This section deals with the unlicensed use of
patents by the United States Government.
The effect of this statute and its interpretations by the Comptroller
General of the United States in Government procurement situations
is examined. The effects of these interpretations and their impact on
the patent holder, licensee and unlicensed contractor are examined.
Research was based heavily on the decisions of the Federal courts
and the Comptroller General. Additional research was accumulated from
published sources, both legally and commercially oriented.
Finally, recommendations are provided which could improve the
equity and reduce the costs involved with the unauthorized use of patents,
