Description:
As a new Administration seeks to defeat the pandemic and restore the nation’s economic growth, the federal government may expand the scope and magnitude of contracts with corporate enterprises. Negotiation of U.S. Government (USG) awarded contracts focus, in large part, on the allocation of rights to intellectual property (IP) and the requirements for ensuring security of unclassified sensitive information that the contractor’s computer system will receive, process, store, and transmit. To the extent that such USG contract involve the design and development of systems, equipment, and services of emerging technologies, such as those augmented by artificial intelligence and smart machines (AI), the negotiation of IP rights will raise issues that may require novel and uncertain application of federal acquisition regulations.

Our panel of experts will provide an overview of the most important provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) concerning allocation of IP rights between the USG and its contractors and subcontractors on procurement of emerging technologies. The panel will also consider a multi-stage scenario concerning the negotiation of a major USG contract that includes such technologies as AI-augmented devices and services and discuss the negotiation of the allocation of IP rights among the parties and the strategic considerations that the USG and its contractors must keep in focus in order to conclude an agreement that will serve their respective interests and avert needless misunderstandings and potential disagreements during its multiple years of performance and optional extensions.
