Research and Development Deliverables under Government Contracts, Grants, Cooperative Agreements and CRADAs: University Roles, Government Responsibilities and Contractor Rights

handle is hein.journals/comlrtj9 and id is 183 raw text is: Research and Development Deliverables under Government Contracts, Grants, Cooperative Agreements and CRADAs: University Roles, Government Responsibilities and Contractor Rights by Danielle Conway-Jones* 1. INTRODUCTION More than anything, the United States Government is committed to re- search and development that will ensure America's position as the leader of nations. Nowhere is this truer than in the development of weapons and weapons systems, for these have, until recently, been the tools of superiority. From the tanks of World Wars I and II, to the guided weapons systems of today, to the unmanned fighting and space exploration vehicles of tomorrow, continued superiority of this nation will depend heavily upon the research and development of new technologies and innovation that must have dual uses for both the military and commercial sectors. In the first half of the twentieth century, the United States Government was the single largest source of funding for research and development.I Dur- ing this period, the Government conducted extensive research and develop- ment in its own laboratories and in Government-owned laboratories run by Associate Professor of Law & Director of the Hawai'i Procurement Institute at the William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai'i at M~noa and Of Counsel, Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I wish to thank my students, my faculty colleagues, and the law school administration for sup- porting my efforts with this article. I would especially like to thank Dean Aviam Soifer for leading this law school in every respect. I also wish to thank my research assistants for all of their diligence and loyalty to me and to my scholarly agenda. Thank you Okechukwu Dike, Matthew Eaton, Brandon Ito, Jason Woo, and Amanda Allen. Finally, I must thank the principals at Monts & Ware, LLP in Dallas, Texas as well as Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen and the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law for the wonderful op- portunity to present this paper at the Emerging Intellectual Property Issues Symposium on March 19, 2004. Two well-respected law firms in Honolulu, Hawai'i - Alston Hunt Floyd & Ing and Goodsill Anderson Quinn & Stifel, generously supported the research for this article. 1. Jack E.
