Babak Siavoshy joined me on the Acquisition Talk podcast to discuss opportunities for improving intellectual property and software data rights practices in defense contracts. He is Vice President and General Counsel of Anduril Industries, and has recently written an excellent article on one of the least understood aspects of the acquisition world.Babak extends the argument that software is “eating the world,” or comprising an increasingly larger share of the value being generated by firms today. Even for the physical products Anduril is developing like UAVs, sensor towers, drone interceptors, and submarines, the software backbone is what makes them game changing. Government, however, has struggled to value software and compensate for private investment. These issues show up in its templatized data rights practices.This podcast was produced by Eric Lofgren.
