About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The blanket purchase agreement awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service provides for various intellectual property legal services to be delivered by Nath & Associates PLLC, doing business as Nath Law. Task orders issued against the IDV include responding to patent office actions, drafting patent applications, and paying annuity and maintenance fees. Performance locations include Alexandria, Virginia and Madison, Wisconsin. Individual task order values range from $595 to $14,000, and the overall IDV potential value is $550,000. Periods of performance vary between individual task orders issued from December 2022 through December 2028.

The services procured support the agency's management of intellectual property developed through its research programs. The Forest Service and its research arm, the Forest Products Laboratory, focus areas including sustainable forest management, forestry technologies, materials development and environmental protection. As such, the contracted patent-related services likely aid in establishing and maintaining ownership rights over innovations resulting from the agency's work in these domains.
