6.2.9: Intellectual Property

Work closely with our Office of General Counsel in order to establish relevant policies that anticipate the kinds of issues that may arise from the novel ways in which we will receive information, suggestions, and ideas from the public.

Other Information:

Due to the two-way feedback mechanism of open government, intellectual property issues may become a significant impediment to HUD's open government solutions. It will work closely with its Office of General Counsel in order to establish relevant policies that anticipate the kinds of issues that may arise from the novel ways in which it will receive information, suggestions, and ideas from the public. Additionally, HUD will identify best practices from across the Federal government in this realm and seek to establish and participate in inter-Agency working groups to develop unified policies across cross-functional domains to reduce systemic risk in intellectual property issues across the Federal government.
