The successful development and commercialization of technology requires careful drafting of research and development (R&D) contracts and subsequent commercial agreements. This conference will provide an overview of relevant agreements concluded in the R&D and commercial exploitation stages to illustrate their interrelation, with a particular focus on IP and alternative dispute resolution. Methods of evaluating and valuating IP for the purpose of its commercialization will be presented. Experienced practitioners will address selected issues of Belgian, English, US and German law relevant for licensing and transfer of ownership of IP, dispute resolution, and will share best practices and experiences.

All innovative organizations wish to maximize the return on the fruits of their creativity through licensing, but how to do this to their greatest advantage is not always clear. There are many approaches which work well and many which do not, many which attract potential licensees and others which shoot wide of the mark. Recognizing which fit best with your organization based upon its mission, size, nature and a host of other factors and learning what speaks to potential licensees is a major challenge and crucial to ultimate success. In this topic meeting we have succeeded in gathering a diverse group of experts from all areas who bring a wealth of practical experience to this issue.
We encourage you to join us and to benefit from this unique opportunity.
