IP for ARPA-E Speaker Notes: Inventions
‣ Who “owns” subject inventions (conceived or first actually reduced to practice under the award)? Awardees/subawardees may retain title to their employees’ inventions. Same for subawardees.
– Must report such inventions to DoE via internet portal, iEdison.
– Failure to report/elect title to your inventions? US right to take title to the invention!
– Note: No government rights in your inventions first actually reduced to practice, solely at private expense prior to issuance of an award.
– For more information, please see FAQ 2.20 at https://arpa-e.energy.gov/faq
‣ What’s the quid pro quo for ARPA-E funding? Government use license & march-in rights (no such cases involving an ARPA-E invention) - and US manufacturing requirements. (Government license only arises in performance of a government purpose)
‣ What exactly are the US manufacturing requirements?: Requirements will vary depending upon whether the awardee is a large or small business, University, or other type of awardee.
– For all awards: Any grant of an exclusive license for a product embodying or produced through the use of a subject invention must be substantially manufactured in the U.S.
– For all for-profit awards: Products embodying or produced through the use of subject inventions must be substantially manufactured in the United States by Project Team members and their licensees.
– All awards to large business: manufacture in the US products to be used or sold anywhere that embody subject inventions.
• May request modification for good cause and subject to providing an alternate net benefit to the US economy. Hard to get unless you have an existing manufacturing capability or you have a subject invention with a business plan.
‣ Your US Manufacturing Plan: is this added as a contractual requirement in your ARPA-E Cooperative Agreement? Yes.
‣ Will ARPA-E reimburse your costs to obtain US patents for subject inventions? Yes – up $30K allowed for filing US patent applications on disclosed and elected subject inventions.
22
IP for ARPA-E Speaker Notes: Data
‣ Data rights in your preexisting proprietary data: Government obtains no rights (except as necessary to monitor technical progress/evaluate
potential of proposed technologies to reach specific technical and cost metrics)
– Do not send proprietary data to ARPA-E. May be disclosed during oral presentations/power point presentations off-site to Government
employees (who are subject to Trade Secrets Act) without jeopardizing protections from disclosure.
– Distinguish from unlimited data rights list which applies to first produced data, negotiated prior to award.
‣ “Protected Data” rights: data arising from your ARPA-E award:
– For-profit entities: are given the automatic right to mark first produced data as “protected data” - means the government cannot publicly
disclose such data for 5 years after creation. Parties mutually agree on an unlimited rights list so we can let the public know what their tax
dollars were spent on.
– University/nonprofit: can request the same protection. Awards must be amended to include this right.
23
IP for ARPA-E Speaker Notes: Reporting Requirements
‣ Must you periodically report on the utilization (commercialization) of a subject invention, and does this obligation continue after the end of the award/research? Yes,
annually for both.
– For more information on reporting requirements please see https://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=site-page/project-management-reporting-requirements
‣ IP and Data Management Plans:
– IP Management Plan - required if there is more than one Project team member. Plan addresses: sharing of technical data, dealing with joint inventions, licensing
of technology, dispute resolution, possible public availability of data.
– Data Management Plan – addresses whether and how project-generated digital data may be made available to public.
– Note: More information and sample templates for IP and Data Management plans on ARPA-E web site at https://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=site-page/project-
management-reporting-requirements.
