Course description
What rights should you be entitled to from an R&D collaboration and how do you resolve the tensions between the funders of research and those carrying out the research? This can be particularly sensitive for charitable and publicly funded organisations, such as universities.
However, if you are the funder, what happens if the key researcher moves on?
This virtual classroom seminar with HGF Law's Janet Knowles will discuss these and other issues, including the position of UK organisations looking to participate in Horizon Europe research projects post-Brexit and the impact of the new Unitary Patent being introduced by the EU with the anticipated timetable for the Unified Patent Court to open being 1 April 2023.
The session assumes that you have a knowledge of contract law as well as a high-level knowledge of the different types of IP that can exist, mainly patents, know-how and copyright.

Training Course Content
Introduction
Not all IP can be developed in-house, and so research and development (‘R&D’) collaborations can be key.
What rights should you be entitled to from an R&D collaboration and how do you resolve the tensions between the funders of research and those carrying out the research?
This can be particularly sensitive for charitable and publicly funded organisations, such as universities.
However, if you are the funder, what happens if the key researcher moves on?
This virtual classroom seminar will discuss these and other issues, including the position of UK organisations looking to participate in Horizon Europe research projects post-Brexit and the impact of the new Unitary Patent (‘UP’).
The session assumes that you have a knowledge of contract law as well as a high-level knowledge of the different types of IP that can exist, mainly patents, know-how and copyright.
