Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Software, brands, technology, content, designs and know-how are increasingly the most valuable assets organisations own or use. Licensing and intellectual property agreements decide who can use these assets, how, where, for how long and at what price, and poorly understood terms can lead to infringement, lost revenue or unexpected restrictions on the business.
This Licensing and Intellectual Property Agreements training course explains the commercial and contractual principles behind intellectual property licensing. Participants learn about types of intellectual property, ownership and assignment, licence scope, exclusivity and territory, royalties and payment models, software and technology licences, open source considerations, confidentiality and the management of licence compliance.
The course is designed for commercial, procurement and legal professionals who negotiate or manage licences as licensors or licensees.
