U.S. Licensing course provides drafting and negotiating advice for EU practitioners, with precise references to existing U.S. law. The course lays the groundwork for a clause-by clause examination of all significant elements of a patent licensing agreement.

Focus is on how and why each provision serves the business needs of the parties while remaining legally viable. The main components of typical licensing agreements, from the opening part through signature, are examined in detail.

Throughout the course, the faculty members emphasize achieving legally satisfactory drafting results by recognizing the logical principles that underlie the job to be done. Sample forms are used to explain the practical considerations upon which they are based. U.S. law and precedent are presented in ways that clarify the legal reasoning behind each recommended approach.

This course covers all basic aspects and some more advanced considerations. All material is presented in a manner that is understandable to both legal practitioners and non-lawyer business executives. The faculty will respond to questions to further explain the issues presented.

All participants will benefit from the extensive experience of the faculty. The text book and handout materials are followed in the course and provide all participants with a useful, continuing reference.
