D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 27-3105
Upon the request of the contracting officer, a contractor or a prospective contractor shall fur nish to the contracting officer licensing and royalty information and reports sufficient to determine whether royalties or licenses anticipated or actually paid under District contracts are excessive, improper, or inconsistent with any District rights in particular inventions, patents, patent applications, copyrights, or proprietary information.
If the contracting officer determines that the District has paid or will pay royalties under an existing or prospective contract that are inconsistent with the District's rights, are excessive, or are otherwise improper, and if it is in the best interests of the District, the contracting officer shall obtain a refund or negotiate for a reduction of royalties.
