Licensing transactions are becoming more complex than ever. The constantly evolving legal, regulatory and technical landscape drives the need to stay current in all of these key areas. Whether utilized to develop technology, expand or create market opportunities, or generate returns from existing assets, managing complex licensing transactions requires a broad and varied toolkit.  Additionally, whether licensing patents, copyrights, trade secrets or trademarks, the ability to structure, draft and negotiate complex license agreements is critical to a successful transaction. This program is designed to address some of the more complex and practical issues that arise in drafting and negotiating IP licenses, as well as tips for specific industries such as software, entertainment, and life sciences.  This program will feature updates on current legal developments, present case studies highlighting best practices, provide tactics for negotiating frequently contested issues, and provide guidance on identifying and avoiding common pitfalls, keeping the relationship on track, litigation planning and avoidance, and addressing ethics concerns.
