The United States Code (USC) sets forth the framework for intellectual property (IP) rights and protections by providing for three categories of IP – patents, trademarks and copyrights. Government agencies, however, have developed a separate framework for determining IP rights which is set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation System (FARS) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Understanding the differences between the IP categories of the USC and FARS/DFARS, and how the two interact, is helpful when considering contracting with the government or working with clients who may contract with the government.
Please join Laura J. Grebe, partner at Husch Blackwell, for a webinar about these different categories and how to mitigate IP risk.
