Negotiating Licensing Agreements with University Technology Transfer Offices

About the Course:

This session provides insight into virtually every aspect of negotiating with university technology transfer offices. Discussion points range from the overarching goals of a university technology transfer office to standing to sue; from negotiating with spin-off companies to patent prosecution practices; from negotiating know-how rights to negotiating improvement rights; and, from the process of determining what an invention is to how to help faculty members play more constructive roles in the licensing process.
