Intellectual property (patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, trade dress and designs) can be the foundation upon which companies are built and the basis for commercial success in the 21st century marketplace. Licensing intellectual property from others can jump-start a new company and has benefits for both the seller and the buyer. What happens, for example, when a company is founded on technology it licenses from a university or other research institution? Likewise, what benefits does an institution (or commercial company) derive when it licenses out its technology? Find out in this Forum, as our panel of experts tells us stories of license agreements that put both seller and buyer on the road to prosperity.
