Intellectual Property Panel: Pub K’s Government Contracts Annual Review Conference 2026

Morrison Foerster partner Locke Bell will speak on the Intellectual Property panel at Pub K’s 2026 Annual Review Conference. The panel will examine recent developments and emerging trends at the intersection of government contracting and intellectual property. As agencies continue to prioritize modularity, commercial technologies, and nontraditional acquisition pathways, intellectual property considerations are playing an increasingly central role in negotiations, data rights, and technology deployment.

The panel will provide a roundtable discussion on the past year’s developments and ongoing trends, including:

• DoD’s Intellectual Property Guidebook and interest-based negotiations to implement MOSA 
• FlightSafety and its effects on commercial markings and data rights challenges
• Licensing A.I. to the government 
• Procurement Reform: IP considerations when prioritizing commercial products and nontraditional acquisitions through OTs and CSOs
• Subject inventions and march-in rights under the Trump Administration
