About the workshop
Discover how in-licensing existing technologies can accelerate your innovation, and how out-licensing intellectual property (IP) managed by your company can generate additional revenue streams.
During this workshop, you will learn how to strategically use patents to strengthen your competitive position, how to conduct patent searches prior to licensing negotiations, and what to keep in mind when negotiating and drafting license agreements. Additionally, you will discover how to use licensing as a tool to monetize further innovation and/or create impact.
Through practical examples and insights from experienced professionals, you will gain a better understanding of how licensing works in practice. The afternoon concludes with a networking reception, giving you the opportunity to meet the speakers and fellow entrepreneurs.
