Course Description:
Intellectual property and technology licensing pervades virtually every industry as companies license their own intellectual property and technology to others and acquire licenses in intellectual and property technology from licensors. In this course, we examine the issues associated with various types of intellectual property and technology licensing. We examine key aspects of patent, copyright, trademark, and other licenses. We also explore non-disclosure agreements, product development agreements, and software licenses. We also look at technology licensing issues associated with industry-sponsored technology standards-setting organizations and open source arrangements. The course has a strong focus on the review and discussion of various license agreements with an emphasis on developing practical drafting and negotiation skills needed for licensing attorneys.
