I think it says basically 2 facts: 1. government agencies do not count as small entities. 2. Inventors can still claim their SE rights if they license their rights to government agencies rusulting funding agreements. Otherwise, they are precluded from the SE rights. Am I correct? Thank you guys. I am confused by the 509.02 VI rights held by government. I think it says basically 2 facts:
