20. PATENTS, COPYRIGHT, AND ROYALTIES: The supplier/provider,

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

This item concerns a standard contract clause for the City of DeLand regarding patents, copyrights, and royalties. It requires suppliers and providers to protect the City from liability related to intellectual property used in goods or services. The clause states that any costs for patented or copyrighted items must be included in the quoted price. This is a standard legal review item for contracts. The City Commission is reviewing this clause as part of its regular meeting. This review is early in the process, before specific contracts are awarded. The work involves legal review and contract drafting. Local businesses that provide legal services or contract administration could be involved. Reaching out to the City early to understand their contracting needs could be beneficial.
