New Reporting Requirements For Grant and Cooperative Agreement Recipients
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.14.10
On September 14, 2010, OMB issued two regulations implementing the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 requirements applicable to recipients of federal financial assistance. The first requires (among other things) that, for any new award made after October 1, 2010, applicants and recipients of grants and cooperative agreements must register in the Central Contractor Registration ("CCR"), and the second requires (among other things) that recipients of grants and other forms of federal financial assistance must (subject to a few limitations that generally mirror those in the FAR) provide information about the recipient's executive compensation, first-tier subawards over $25,000, and subrecipients' executive compensation.

Who Invented That? When AI Writes the Code, Patent Validity Issues May Follow
In Fortress Iron, LP v. Digger Specialties, Inc., No. 24-2313 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 2, 2026), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reaffirmed what happens when a patent incorrectly lists the true inventors, and that error cannot be corrected under 35 U.S.C. § 256(b), which requires notice and a hearing for all “parties concerned.” In Fortress, the patent owner sought judicial correction to add an inventor under § 256(b), but that inventor could not be located. Because the missing inventor qualified as a “concerned” party under the statute, the lack of notice and a hearing for that inventor made correction under § 256(b) impossible, and the patents could not be saved from invalidity.
