Founders and investors often claim that US university spinoffs receive more “startup-friendly” deal terms than their European counterparts. But is that perception accurate? And if so, on which specific terms?
In this 60-minute Spinout SIG webinar, a US knowledge transfer leader will walk through the key clauses of a typical single-patent spinoff agreement, including equity percentages, royalty rates, anti-dilution provisions, shareholder rights, and lab cost structures, explaining how and why these terms are typically structured.
Knowledge transfer professionals from the UK and continental Europe will then respond with perspectives from their own institutions, highlighting the practical, legal, and policy constraints that influence European deal terms.
The discussion will examine where real differences exist between US and European spinoff agreements, and whether the definitions of “startup-friendly” are really that different.
This webinar is organised by the Spin-off SIG. Join the Spin-off SIG to stay tuned.
