program
Government procurement of commercial and
non-commercial products and services is increasingly
requiring more technical data rights, electronic
reporting and retention of data, and controls on
the supply chain. As acquisition moves on-line,
off the grid, or into the cloud, what do you
need to know to safeguard valuable intellectual
property, as well as mission and business
critical infrastructure, all while navigating the
evolving regulatory compliance regime? On
the flip side, what if you learn that a
government laboratory or a university is
conducting federally-financed research and
development in a technical area relevant to
your company’s strategic goals?
The Section gratefully acknowledges the very generous

Optional Practicum — Transferring Technology from
the Federal Government
The Federal Government spends billions of dollars annually in basic and applied R&D and files, or has filed on its
behalf, many thousands of patent applications. The underlying inventions are generally available to license for commercial use. The U.S. Department of Energy, in particular,
has technology transfer as an express part of its mission.
This practicum will explore the vehicles industry can use to
piggyback on Government R&D expenditures to develop
new products and services. The practicum will also provide insight into the criteria that an interested company
or investor should consider in evaluating the commercial
potential of federally developed technology.
7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.
Registration and Continental Breakfast

industry examine and explain how government
