Contractor Plausibly Asserted NASA Wrongfully Terminated License to Commercial Agency Technology; COFC No. 16-932 C, Spectre Corporation v. United States

Government’s motion to dismiss a breach of contract claims is denied, where the plaintiff plausibly alleged the agency wrongfully terminated an Executive Licensing Agreement providing for the commercialization of NASA patents, and that the agency treated the Space Act Agreement as a research and development project, even though the parties agreed to commercialize the technology.
