This webinar will cover some recent developments in the Intellectual Property knowledge area including the recently released DoDM 5010.12, which covers contractor prepared data and the need to manage all contractor-prepared data for effective program management.
The manual has updated procedures for preparing the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL DD Form 1423) and new, detailed guidance on USG License Rights. The manual also discusses modern acquisition strategies that include data access vs. delivery, digital engineering, and a Modular Open Systems Approach. This webinar will also touch briefly on amendments to the DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Instructions related to reverse engineering (PGI 217.7504 – Acquisition of parts when data is not available). Participants will gain clarity on recent shifts in policy direction, governance, and priorities shaping IP across the defense acquisition enterprise. Ideal for DoD practitioners seeking a common baseline and shared understanding of where IP policy is headed and why it matters.
