          under section 162(a)(3) constitutes compensation for services               
          rendered that is deductible under section 162(a)(1).                        
               Based upon our examination of the entire record before us,             
          we find that petitioner has failed to carry its burden of estab-            
          lishing that it is entitled to deduct for the year at issue the             
          portion of the $902,476 payment under petitioner’s license                  
          agreement in excess of the amount that respondent concedes.                 
               We have considered all of the contentions and arguments of             
          the parties that are not discussed herein, and we find them to be           
          without merit, irrelevant, and/or moot.                                     
               To reflect the foregoing and the concession of respondent,             


                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
