This course will outline the principles of licensing and examine every stage, from taking the decision to license, through negotiation to an in-depth analysis of an international license to what happens after the agreement has been signed.
Obtaining protection for intellectual property is only the beginning. In order to take full commercial advantage of this protection it is necessary to be aware of the opportunities offered by successful licensing of such IP rights.
This course will outline the principles of licensing and examine every stage, from taking the decision to license, through negotiation to an in-depth analysis of an international license to what happens after the agreement has been signed. The course is technology non-specific.
Attendees will have the opportunity to test their licensing skills in a licensing business simulation where they will team up with their peers in two groups. Thus, they will be able to experience licensing from the licensor and from the licensee perspective.
