Special License Requirements for the Technical Data, Computer Software, and Related Material, and Patent Rights for the Background Patents listed in CDRL A106, Advanced Manufacturing Technical Data Package.

This special license agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the data of its incorporation into Contract No.

_______, and is by and between _______ (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) agree as follows:

(a) Authority

This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the authority of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.227-7013(b)(4), 252.227-7014(b)(4), 252.227-7015(c), or 227.7202-3(b). Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, this Agreement does not alter or supersede the Government’s rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose the technical data including computer software documentation or Related Material or computer software in whole or in part, as defined in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) at 252.227-7013, 252.227-7014, 252.227-7015, or 227.7202-3. Further, this Agreement does not limit the Government’s rights provided by the DFARS clauses included within this contract which include, but are not limited to DFARS 252.227-7019, 252.227-7037, 252.246-7001 and 252.227-7028. This Agreement does not limit or modify the Government’s rights to data deliverables outside of Attachment.

Per DFARS 227.7102-1(a) (2) with respect to Commercial items, components, or processes, the DoD shall acquire only the technical data customarily provided to the public with a commercial item or process, except technical data that are required for repair or maintenance of commercial items or processes, or for the proper installation, operating, or handling of a commercial item, either as a stand alone unit or as a part of a military system, when such data are not customarily provided to commercial users or the data provided to commercial users is not sufficient for military purposes.

(b) Definitions. As used in this agreement –

1. “Background Patent” means any U.S. or foreign patent or U.S. foreign patent application covering an invention or discovery which is not a subject invention (as defined in FAR 52.227-11) and which is owned or controlled by the offeror at any time through the completion of this contract or to which the offeror has an interest through invention.

2. “Developed” means –

(i) With respect to an item, component, or process means that an item, component, or process exists and is workable. Thus, the item or component must have been constructed or the process practiced. Workability is generally established when the item, component, or process has been analyzed or tested sufficiently to demonstrate to reasonable people skilled in the applicable art that there is a high probability that it will operate as intended. Whether, how much, and what type of analysis or testing is required to establish workability depends on the nature of the item, component, or process, and the state of the art. To be considered “developed,” the item, component, or process need not be at the stage where it could be offered for sale or sold on the commercial market, nor must the item, component, or process be actually reduced to practice within the meaning of Title 35 of the United States Code.

(ii) With respect to a computer program, computer software, or computer software documentation means that –

(A) A computer program has been successfully operated in a computer and tested to the extent sufficient to demonstrate to reasonable persons skilled in the art that the program can reasonably be expected to perform its intended purpose;

(B) Computer software, other than computer programs, has been tested or analyzed to the extent sufficient to demonstrate to reasonable persons skilled in the art that the software can reasonably be expected to perform its intended purpose; or

(C) Computer software documentation required to be delivered under a contract has been written, in any medium, in sufficient detail to comply with requirements under that contract.

3. “Government purpose rights” means the rights to –

(i) Use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose technical data, computer software, Related Material, or computer software documentation within the Government without restriction; and

(ii) Release or disclose technical data, computer software, or Related Material outside the Government and authorize persons to whom release or disclosure has been made to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose that data for United States government purposes.

4. “Related Material” means the material is necessary to finish the manufacture of the item. Related material may or may not be Technical Data or Computer Software.

5. “Unlimited rights” means rights to use, modify, reproduce, perform, display, release, or disclose technical data or computer software or Related Material in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or authorize others to do so.

Other terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the following clauses have the same meaning as set forth in those clauses:

A. DFARS 252.227-7013

B. DFARS 252.227-7014; and

C. DFARS 252.227-7015

(c) Contractor’s rights in technical data or computer software or Related Material or patents

All rights not granted to the Government are retained by Contractor.
