This webinar will review the fundamentals of basic industry-university collaboration agreements. We will start with a discussion of the common perspectives and objectives of each side coming into collaboration agreements, where they are aligned and where they may not be. We will intgroduce the main sections of a typical agreement and explain key terms used to capture the deal, using examples to illustrate potential issues created wtih certain approaches, and the legal underpinnings that motivate certain specific terms. We will also address industry-university service agreements and how they may vary.
