IP and Technology in Government Contracts: Procurement and Partnering at the Federal and State Level, 2023 Edition by James G. McEwen, David S. Bloch, Richard M. Gray, and John T. Lucas. State and national governments often meet their technologically-intensive needs and to stimulate technology development by entering into contracts and financing deals with private companies. These contracts, and the complex rules that accompany them, have complex rules driven by policy and needs that present unique risks relative to commercial deals, which can elevate the risk of unintentional intellectual property loss for private-sector contractors who do not recognize and mitigate these risks. IP and Technology in Government Contracts provides a comprehensive appraisal of United States federal procurement laws, regulations and policies relating to intellectual property, plus a detailed survey of state procurement rules and a comparison of the approaches adopted by the European Union and other industrialized countries. It provides strategic guidance for the protection of IP in government contracts, and the various ways to enforce IP rights in the event of government violation. Written by knowledgeable and highly-experienced professionals in the field, this book offers detailed advice and commentary concerning strategies, opportunities, and traps for the unwary. This book assists attorneys on both sides of the equation to approach government deals with the dual objectives to maximize the tremendous upside potential while protecting IP rights.
