The very mention of the phrase “intellectual property” strikes fear in many hearts, and for that reason some people, in both Government and the private sector, have tried to steer clear of this critical topic at all costs.  Join Professor Ralph Nash and Tim Sullivan as they take you on a tour of the IP concepts that affect all of the parties to a Government contract, including patents, software licensing and data rights.  Even if you are not the person responsible for protecting or enforcing these rights in your organization, it is important to understand the nuts and bolts of what is involved and what can happen if these concepts are ignored.
