PATENT AND RIGHTS IN DATA 37 CFR Part 401 49 CFR Parts 18 and 19 The FTA patent clause is substantially similar to the text of 49 C.F.R. Part 19, Appendix A, Section 5, but the rights in data clause reflects FTA objectives. For patent rights, FT/k is governed by Federal law and regulation. For data rights, the text on copyrights is insufficient to meet FTA's purposes for awarding research grants.

(b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R.El 18.34 and 49 C.F.R.O Page 12 19.36, the Federal Government reserves a royalty -free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "Federal Government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)I and (2)(b)2 of this clause below.
