Last paragraph...

Harvard’s Office of Technology Development worked with the Wyss Institute to structure this collaboration with ReWalk, which includes a license for intellectual property and funding for the continued development at the Institute, towards bringing this new wearable therapeutic device into the marketplace. Additional funding for the Wyss Institute’s exosuit came from the National Science Foundation, the Harvard University Star Family Challenge, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Warrior Web program, which seeks to develop technologies to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries among military Service members while improving performance.

You are definitely better versed in intellectual property than I am. However, as Skeptic pointed, I have read different materials that point out that technology used in the Soft Exoskeleton that is licensed to ReWalk had been at least partially developed in the DARPA contract. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, Conor Walsh (https://wyss.harvard.edu/team/core-faculty/conor-walsh/) is the main guy leading the soft exoskeleton effort at Wyss and it is natural to think that what he had done in the Warrior Web project in soft exoskeletons had provided some input/conceptual ideas/understanding on what he has developed as a rehabilitation device, which is now being commercialized by ReWalk.
