Outline:
Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the applications in their
department of the Treasury Board approved the new policy on Title to
Intellectual Property Arising Under Crown Procurement Contracts, effective June
1, 2000. Over the years, there has been some confusion on how to apply the
Policy on Crown Contracts and this has led to extensive consultation with the
private sector and government. It addresses various government objectives, which
are not always clear to those who must apply the policy. The main subjects will
include definitions, criteria and case studies to ensure that the concepts are
understood. There will be some discussion on the clauses and then an application
exercise to assist Contracting Officers to understand when to use the various
clauses.
Scenarios and case studies have been developed to provide practical
application of the principles addressed during the course.
