Abstract: This infomration is required to ensure the proper disposition of rights to inventions made in the course of NASA-funded research contracts. The requirement is codified in 48 CFR Part 1827. The legislative authorities are 42 U.S.C. 2457 et seq., and 35 U.S.C. 200 et seq. The information is used by NASA legal counsel and contracting offices to ensure disposition of inventions in accordance with statutes, and to determine the Government's rights in data. NASA has multiple agency-specific data right clauses which differ from those in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Consequently, NASA has a distinct information collection which is not covered under a Federal-wide approved collection.
