Software Licensing: Not Your Traditional University Deal

In this session, we'll focus on some of the unique terms in licenses for software, particularly in contrast to those found in biotechnology and pharmaceutical transactions, which are common for universities. We will include a discussion on the intellectual property rights that apply to software and how they can affect the rights granted, among other aspects of the license agreement. We will also highlight how most software is created, including the frequent use of Open Source Software, which impacts due diligence by licensees and the terms they expect to see in a license agreement.
