What intellectual property (IP) rights will apply to the data and software deliverables produced in different phases
For phase II's beta software tool, what level of access and usage rights does the DoT expect from companies (government pupose rights, unlimited rights, or negotiated licenses)?
What are the potential(expected) licensing options for the fully functional software developed in phase III (consider commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) licensing or the DoT wants the IP rights)? What are the DoT's long-term goals for ownership and operation of the phase III software?
Pre-existing IP: if companies use pre-existing IP in their deliverables, can you clarify ownership and licensing rights for those components?

The pre-existing IPs are not transferred. Are there provisions for sharing the IP of the new product?
