Join a discussion with MIT’s Manager of Life Sciences Technology Licensing Team, Harvard’s Director of Intellectual Property, Goodwin Procter Life Sciences Attorney and JAMS Life Sciences mediators and arbitrators as they discuss best practices for a smooth transfer of university-developed research. Experts examine best practices for bridging connections from university’s research community to the Life Science industry and startups where everyone benefits.
University tech transfer offices and their partners in industry and finance must be prudent when negotiating terms for agreements granting rights to university-developed inventions. Among the many considerations are sublicensing rights, the scope of those rights (e.g., geographic and field of use), and the university’s desire to be involved with, to control, or to avoid, future litigation. Explore some of the most common areas of dispute and how to avoid them through transparency and open communication and creative dispute resolution processes with representatives from Harvard, MIT, an experienced life sciences and technology attorney and JAMS Life Sciences mediators and arbitrators.
