This webinar will address the fundamentals of the university patent license agreement. We will start with a discussion of the perspectives commonly held by the licensor, a non-profit institution with a mission to transfer technology for the public benefit, and the licensee, a business enterprise chartered to make a return on its investments. We will then introduce each section of the license agreement, explain typical terms used to capture the deal, use specific examples to illustrate potential issues created with certain approaches, and the legal underpinnings that motivate certain specific terms. Finally, we will end with a question and answer section.
