IP Strategy for the Mission - Part III: How Government Funding Affects IP Rights

Government contracts and funding can open exciting doors for small and dual-use businesses—but they also come with unique rules around intellectual property (IP). Understanding these rules is critical to protecting your innovations while working with federal agencies.

In this session, we’ll explore how government funding impacts IP rights, what small businesses need to know before signing agreements, and how to ensure you maintain control over your most valuable assets. Attendees will walk away with clear guidance on navigating contracts, spotting common pitfalls, and building strategies that balance compliance with long-term business goals.

Whether you’re new to government funding or already pursuing federal opportunities, this workshop will help you approach contracts with confidence and set your business up for mission-driven success.
