DFARS 227.7009-2 Clauses to be used when applicable.

In plain English

This section tells contracting officers which patent-related clauses to use in certain contracts. It says the Release of Past Infringement clause is an example that can be changed or left out only with advice from patent or legal counsel, the Readjustment of Payments clause must be included in contracts with a running royalty, and the Termination clause is an example for running-royalty contracts that can also be changed or left out only with counsel's advice. It matters because it affects which clauses appear in a contractor's contract.
