Reviewing and Negotiating Technology Transfer and Licensing Agreements

Technology transfer and licensing agreements are frequently used by commercial entities and public or quasi-public bodies for the development of new business prospects and for cross-border expansion. These agreements are essential tools to promote innovation, collaboration, and economic development by allowing the efficient transfer and commercialisation of valuable technologies and intellectual property.

Technology transfer and licensing agreements can be complex and require expertise to ensure the interests of both parties are adequately protected. It is crucial to carefully negotiate and draft these agreements to avoid potential disputes and ensure a successful technology transfer process.

This two-day seminar gives practical advice on the legal and commercial considerations which are essential for securing a successful agreement. It has been specially designed to cover all the crucial topics, the risk areas and pitfalls to be aware of, and focusses on how to negotiate the best deal for your business. Particular attention will be given to the Block Exemptions and their impact on drafting.

By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

• Understand and draft international technology transfer and licensing agreements
• Draft and negotiate key terms more effectively
• Understand and advise on cross-jurisdictional concerns and key terms

The expert trainer uses practical exercises and case studies to help embed the learning and build essential operational know-how. There will be ample time to ask your specific questions and to get practical solutions to take back to your workplace. 

This seminar is not jurisdiction specific and is therefore ideal for those working both in the UK and overseas.
