Taking the Mystery Out of Rights in Technical Data - Session 1 - Intellectual Property Series 2025

Intellectual Property Series - 2025

The "data rights" clauses in the FAR and DFARS are some of the longest and least understood contract provisions.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, you should be able to:  understand the basic principles of rights in technical data and the common misunderstandings about who owns the rights in the data;  determine whether the data rights clauses require delivery;  when development occurs- better understand-what is private expense; who gets rights in government-funded modifications, how to alert the government to your rights and to correctly mark your data;  understand how to keep your engineers from inadvertently giving up your data rights.
