Introduction to IP Licensing

This course will cover the structure and function of license agreements with a focus on what a business professional needs to understand about licensing. Group exercises will be performed on how to use a term sheet in a negotiation of a license. While patent rights will be the dominant IP right used for the examples, we will briefly explore how the license terms change if you are licensing copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and/or tangible materials. The course will conclude with the students drafting a term sheet for a license based on a set of real-world facts. Prerequisite: IP Fundamentals
