Whether it is structuring collaboration agreements with embedded licenses or strictly licensing to businesses aiming to commercialise technology, the course covers all key aspects of technology licensing.
While the process of licensing technology may seem straightforward, it involves intricate details and long-term agreements where mistakes, such as allowing licensees to avoid royalty payments or setting inappropriate incentives can have significant consequences.
