The Quill & Sword | The FAR & Beyond Episode 43: Revolutionary FAR Overhaul: DFARS 227: Intellectual Property in the DoW

In this episode, we analyze the comprehensive restructuring of DFARS Part 227, which organizes intellectual property into commercial and non-commercial "hemispheres" and introduces a new unified "super clause" for technical data and software. The episode also highlights critical substantive updates, including the extension of the validation timeline to six years and a new strategic emphasis on resolving validity questions prior to award.
