The contracting officer shall take appropriate action to reduce or eliminate excessive or improper royalties. (b) If the response to a solicitation includes a charge for royalties, the contracting officer shall, before award of the contract, forward the information to the office having cognizance of patent matters for the contracting activity. The cognizant office shall promptly advise the contracting officer of appropriate action. (c) The contracting officer, when considering the approval of a subcontract, shall require royalty information if it is required under the prime contract.
