The program will address:

• Various types of federal government R&D funding agreements.
  
• The rights that the government and others receive in IP that has been developed with government funds under these laws and regulations.
  
• Very specific requirements for marking notice of inventions, notice of private funded IP, assertion of title, and declarations in patent applications.
  
• Areas that are mandatory versus those that can be negotiated.
  
• Strategies for using allocation of work scope and configuration management to limit the effects of the mandatory provisions.
