The Research and Development Contract serves as a crucial framework for organizations engaging in innovative research and development activities within the United States. This contract type is essential when parties collaborate on scientific, technological, or experimental work, defining rights, responsibilities, and commercial aspects of the relationship. It addresses key aspects such as IP ownership, confidentiality, regulatory compliance, and risk allocation, while adhering to federal and state laws governing research activities, intellectual property, and commercial relationships.
