Government Contracts

Doing business with the government, whether selling to it or obtaining government grants for funding of research and development, has intellectual property consequences. Inventions and their patents may be owned outright by the federal government, or an agency may have “march in rights.” The FARs and DFARs affect a number of intellectual property issues. Paying attention to those details early on can prevent a transaction that appears lucrative from becoming a bad investment.
