An essential 1.5-day virtual course for government contract professionals.

Includes coverage of Data Rights issues in Federal Supply Schedule contracting, new developments in Open Source Software issues, and the FAR Part 27 Plain English Rewrite. Coverage also includes:

Coverage of new developments in both defense and civilian agency procurements.
Special coverage of the final DOD regulations and of the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA).
How product ownership is negotiated and determined.
Contractor and Government options, rights, and responsibilities.

If you're involved in government contracting, you undoubtedly know how vital patents, technical data, and computer software rights are. If you don't know, then you must learn, for these rights mean product ownership of intellectual property in both the present and future, and how ownership will be determined between the government and the contractor.

It is, however, an unusually complex area containing a wide range of variables and circumstances. In addition, the difficulties are compounded by the government's determination to completely retain title to the patents and technical data for products it has contracted for, and from the unique problems that can arise when computer software is the product at hand.

The purpose of this specialized course is to provide the most practical information possible on computer software, patents, and technical data rights from the perspective of both the government and contractors and their professional advisers. It is a clear, incisive analysis of each side's rights, responsibilities, and remedies.

The detailed course curriculum tells the story. In addition, the program will be presented by an expert course faculty: government contract professionals with exhaustive experience in this crucial area of procurement who have authored an extensive course manual for participants.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course you will:

Recognize the FAR/DFAR clauses related to data rights in government contracts
Apply ITMRA to programs, services and products
Demonstrate how to better protect ownership to data rights as well as software when dealing with the government
Develop an understanding during and after negotiations the importance of data and software ownership rights
