52.227-5

Waiver of Indemnity

FAR 52.227-5 waives the Government's right to require contractor indemnification for patent infringement claims on specifically identified patents used solely in contract performance.

Overview

FAR 52.227-5, Waiver of Indemnity, provides that the Government authorizes and consents to the use and manufacture of specified patented inventions in the performance of a contract, and waives its right to require the contractor to indemnify the Government against patent infringement claims related to those patents.

Key Rules
