About this file

This document is an Exhibit 5 Patent Indemnity clause dated April 1984, referencing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.227-3. The document outlines the seller's obligation to indemnify the government against patent infringement liability arising from the manufacture, delivery, or performance of supplies, services, or construction work under a subcontract.

The indemnity provisions specify that the seller must be promptly informed of any patent infringement suits and given an opportunity to participate in the defense. The indemnity does not apply in specific circumstances, such as when infringement results from the government's specific written instructions, modifications made after delivery, or settlements unreasonably made without the seller's consent. The clause is designed to protect the government from potential patent-related legal risks while providing some limitations and conditions for the seller's indemnification responsibilities.
