EXHIBIT B - Federal Patent and Rights in Data
37 C.F.R. Part 401,49 C.F.R. Parts IS and 19
The FTA patent clause is substantially similar to the text of 49 C.F.R. Part 19, Appendix
A, § 5, but the rights in data clause reflects FTA objectives. For patent rights, FTA 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. This model clause,
with larger rights ,as a standard, is proposed with the understanding that this standard
could be modified to FTA's needs.
CONTRACTS INVOLVING EXPERIMENTAL, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR
RESEARCH WORK.
A. Rights in Data.
(1) The term "subject data" means recorded information, whether or not copyrighted,
that is delivered or specified to be delivered under this Agreement. The term includes
graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs; text in
specifications or related performance or design -type documents; machine forms such as
punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained
in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software,
engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets,
manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The
term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar
information incidental to contract administration.
(2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the
performance of the contract to which this Attachment has been added:
(a) Except for its own internal use, Professional may not publish or reproduce subject
data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may Professional authorize others
to do so, without the written consent of the Federal Government, until such time as the
Federal Government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the
public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an
academic institution.
(b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. 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 below. As used in
the previous sentence, "for Federal Government purposes," means use only for the direct
purposes of the Federal Government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the Federal
Government may not extend its Federal license to any other party.
1. Any subject data developed under this Agreement, whether or not a copyright has
been obtained; and
W
2. Any rights of copyright purchased by Professional using Federal assistance in
whole or in part provided by FTA.
(c) When FTA awards Federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or
research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge
available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to
participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, Professional
performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by this Agreement
agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either FTA's license in the
copyright to any subject data developed in the course of that contract, or a copy of the
subject data first produced under the contract for which a copyright has not been
obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or research work, which is the subject of
the underlying contract, is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed
under that contract shall become subject data as defined in subsection (a) of this clause
and shall be delivered as the Federal Government may direct. This subsection (c),
however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or
programs for Professional's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with Federal
assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects.
(d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the Federal Government, the
MPO and Professional agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Federal
Government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official
duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or
intentional violation by the MPO or Professional of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right
of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or
disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the MPO nor Professional
shall be required to indemnify the Federal Government for any such liability arising out
of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the Federal Government.
(e) Nothing contained herein shall imply a license to the Federal Government under
any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise
granted to the Federal Government under any patent.
(f) Data developed by Professional and financed entirely without using Federal
assistance provided by the Federal Government that has been incorporated into work
required by the underlying contract to which this Attachment has been added is exempt
from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that
Professional identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the contract work.
(g) Unless FTA determines otherwise, Professional agrees to include these
requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work
financed in whole or in part with Federal assistance provided by FTA.
(3) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing,
irrespective of Professional's status (i.e., a large business, small business, state
government or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution
of higher education, individual, etc.), the MPO and Professional agree to take the
necessary actions to provide, through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal
Government as described in U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to
Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under
Government Grants, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401.
(4) Professional agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for
experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with Federal
assistance provided by FTA.
B. Patent Rights:
(1) If any invention, improvement, or discovery is conceived or first actually
reduced to practice in the course of or under this Agreement, and that invention,
improvement, or discovery is patentable under the laws of the United States of America
or any foreign country, Professional agrees to take actions necessary to provide
immediate notice and a detailed report to the party at a higher tier until FTA is
ultimately notified.
(2) Unless the Federal Government later makes a contrary determination in writing,
irrespective of Professional's status (a large business, small business, state government
or state instrumentality, local government, nonprofit organization, institution of higher
education, individual), Professional agrees to take the necessary actions to provide,
through FTA, those rights in that invention due the Federal Government as described in
U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, "Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit
Organizations and Small Business Firms Under Government Grants, Contracts and
Cooperative Agreements," 37 C.F.R. Part 401.
(3) Professional agrees to include the requirements of this clause in each subcontract
for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with
Federal assistance provided by FTA.
No Text
6. Opportunity to Cure. In the case of a breach or default, the MPO may, in
its sole discretion, allow Professional a period of time in which to cure the defect. In
such case, the notice of termination shall state the time period in which cure is permitted
and other appropriate conditions. If Professional fails to remedy to the MPO's
satisfaction the breach or default or any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this
Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Professional of written notice from the
MPO setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the MPO may terminate the
Agreement without any further obligation to Professional and seek damages, may treat
the Agreement as continuing and require specific performance, or may avail itself of any
other remedy at law or equity. If the MPO commences legal or equitable actions against
Professional, Professional shall be liable to the MPO for the MPO's reasonable attorney
fees and costs incurred because of the default. Any such termination for default shall not
in any way operate to preclude the MPO from also pursuing all available remedies
against Professional and its sureties for said breach or default.
7. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach. If the MPO elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Professional of any covenant, term or condition of this
Agreement, such waiver by the MPO shall not limit the MPO's remedies for any
succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, Or condition of this Agreement.
S. Responsibility. Professional shall be responsible for the professional
quality, technical accuracy, timely completion and the coordination of all services
rendered by the Professional, including but not limited to designs, plans, reports,
specifications, and drawings and shall, without additional compensation, promptly
remedy and correct any errors, omissions, or other deficiencies.
9. Indemnification. Professional shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the MPO and its representatives, officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and
against all liabilities, penalties, costs, losses, damages, expenses, causes of action, claims,
demands, or judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, arising
from or in any way connected with injury to or the death of any person or physical
damage to any property resulting from any act, omission, condition, or other matter
related to this Agreement.

insurance in the amount of $500,000 combined single limits, and errors and omissions
insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.

invoices are required and shall include a description of services performed, along with

direct reimbursable expenses. Final payment shall be made following acceptance of the
work by the MPO.
12. Records and Reports. The MPO and Professional shall maintain all books,

state or federal authority authorized to inspect such records and copies thereof shall be
furnished at the expense of Professional, if so requested.
13. Ownership of Work Product. Upon final payment, all designs, plans,

and irrevocable right to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use and authorize others to use

and other services rendered by Professional include but are not limited to the Colorado

14. MPO Representative. The MPO shall designate, prior to commencement
of work, its project representative who shall make, within the scope of his or her
authority, all necessary and proper decisions with reference to the project. All requests

to employ any of the foregoing, has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for
award. The MPO's officers, employees, or agents shall neither solicit nor accept
gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential contractors, or
parties of subagreements.

specifications, reports, and incidental work or materials furnished hereunder shall not in
any way relieve the Professional of responsibility for the quality or technical accuracy of
the work. The MPO's approval or acceptance of, or payment for, any of the services shall
not be construed to operate as a waiver of any rights or benefits provided to the MPO
under this Agreement.
21. No Government Obligation to Third Parties. The MPO and Professional
acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any concurrence by the federal
government in or approval of the solicitation or award of the underlying contract, absent
