7.0 PATENTS, DATA AND COPYRIGHTS. The Government, from time to time, may make certain software acquired under license available to the Contractor solely for its use in the performance of this task order. The Contractor recognizes and acknowledges that such software or data contained therein may be proprietary and confidential to a third party.
In addition to US Government use, ERDC CERL's ESMS software is being pulled into the commercial sector through technology transfer programs. Both the method patents (CERL inventions) and the noncommercial software developed in-house and by contract (with copyright assignments) are being licensed to the private sector. Consequently, this contract requires both
DFARS 252.227-7014 ("7014") for unlimited rights to software and data developed under the contract with a copyright assignment to the Army. Furthermore, with the 7014 and 252.227-7020
("7020") clauses allowing the Contractor to retain certain rights in software it develops even after assigning the copyright to the government, a special agreement is required to terminate those enumerated rights for the contractor under this contract. Upon conclusion of the contract, the
Contractor will not retain any rights in the software being developed. The effect of this special agreement is that the Government is the only entity with the ability to control distribution, dissemination, modification, making derivatives of and making public the ESMS developed under the contract unless specifically retained as a right provided by DFARS 252.227-7014
(“7014”) and 252-227-7020 (“7020”).
