Option to Purchase Rights
Definition
Option to Purchase Rights is a contract provision allowing the government to acquire ownership rights to contractor-developed intellectual property. OPTR clauses specify conditions, pricing, and procedures for exercising purchase options.
OPTR provisions affect intellectual property strategy and contract negotiations. Understanding OPTR implications helps contractors protect proprietary interests while meeting government requirements. OPTR pricing should reflect the value of intellectual property rights.
