Damages Available For Government Breach of CRADA
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.24.10

U.S. (Nov. 18, 2010) rebuffed the government's argument that the court has no jurisdiction to consider an alleged breach of a no-cost cooperative research and development agreement and to award damages. The court set for trial the contractor's complaint that, when the Marine Corps bad-mouthed the contractor publicly, it breached its good faith duties by frustrating the contractor's ability to market certain trademarks for food items effectively.
