A Practical Guide To Understanding The Intersection Between Intellectual Property And Government Contracts

Managing intellectual property (IP) when working with the federal government is one of the more challenging areas of government contracts.  Questions regarding who owns the IP, who has rights to the IP and how may a contractor and the government use the IP often lead to varying interpretations and conclusions by the involved parties.  Answers to these same questions may be different depending on the parties’ ability to sort through the myriad of IP regulations when doing business with the government.  This Practical Guide, four-part virtual course will guide you through these key IP issues and considerations and allow you to investigate extensively how to protect your company’s IP rights.  In doing so, we will discuss how to leverage your IP successfully and address the most pressing concerns of your government customer.

Key Session objectives include:

  • The different types of IP (Inventions, Technical Data, Computer Software, Copyrights, Special Works, etc.)
  • How to allocate rights in you IP under the current statutory and regulatory framework
  • What rights the government has in your IP
