Our attorneys are equipped to address a broad spectrum of issues, including but not limited to:

WHEN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AGREEMENTS COME INTO PLAY

Protecting new scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs from public disclosure is key to maintaining a competitive edge in the worldwide market and to fortifying our national security. To this end, U.S. governmental agencies often use different types of technology transfer agreements to safely exchange information and services with universities and other entities.

The most common agreements are:

• Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA)
• Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)
• Facility Use/Service Agreement (FUSA)
• License Agreement (LA)
• Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
