Benjamin McMartin, Senior Fellow, Costello College of Business, and John McGinn, Executive Director, Center for Government Contracting, Costello College of Business, received funding for the project: “Enabling Data Management (DM) of Intellectual Property Licenses for the Department of Defense.”
McMartin and McGinn are studying commercial best practices, standards, and technologies available for adoption to support Data Management (DM) of Department of Defense Intellectual Property Licenses.
Specifically, they are mapping the chain of license rights from solicitation documents, proposal documents and assertions, contract instruments, and deliverables.
They are also identifying potential challenges to the U.S. Department of Defense’s adoption and use of commercial best practices, standards, and technologies.
Finally, they are identifying potential paths to adoption of commercial best practices, standards, and technologies.
The researchers received $37,809 from Stevens Institute of Technology on a subaward from the U.S. Department of Defense for this project. Funding began in Nov. 2024 and will end in Feb. 2025.
