Technical Data Rights

Technical Data Rights refer to the legal entitlements associated with data and information produced during the development of a product or service, particularly in government contracts. Essentially, they determine who owns the data, who can use it, and how it can be shared or sold. For example, if a contractor develops new technology for the government, the Technical Data Rights specify whether the government can freely use that technology or if the contractor retains control over it. These rights help protect intellectual property and ensure that both parties understand their obligations and benefits.
