Cooperative Research and Development Agreement

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement

In the United States, a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA or CRDA) is an agreement between a government agency and a private company to work together on research and development.

Description

Designated under the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-502) (which amended the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Act of 1986),[1] a CRADA is intended to speed the commercialization of technology, optimize resources, and protect the private company involved. A CRADA allows both parties to keep research results confidential for up to five years under the Freedom of Information Act.[2]

Private corporations participating in a CRADA are allowed to file patents, and they retain patent rights on inventions developed by the CRADA. The government gets a license to the patents. [3]
