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. 

Participants will explore best practices in software and licensing, learn how to license technology effectively, and gain insights into crafting robust agreements that ensure value capture and innovation. 

This programme is ideal for those involved in knowledge transfer who want to avoid common pitfalls and strengthen their licensing strategies.
