CPE, CLE Accredited
The data rights clauses are among today’s most important but most misunderstood and misapplied contract provisions. This is a problem for everyone, because of the ever-increasing demand for technical data and software rights. But it is a problem this course can fix.

This one-day course by Jay DeVecchio will simplify and clarify the data rights clauses in ways you have not previously experienced. No matter whether you are new to contracting or a seasoned veteran, you will walk away understanding exactly how the data rights clauses work and be well armed with practical, useful insights.  

Mr. DeVecchio has practiced in this field for more than 40 years. Chambers USA 2022 offered this view of him: “He is regarded as the industry leader in the complex, evolving area of data rights and intellectual property in government contracts.”

After this course you will be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of data rights clauses
  • Determine developmental costs and data rights
  • Ascertain the difference between rights
  • Reference DFARs clauses

This live virtual course is eligible for both CLE and CPE credit.
