Partner Steve Gold, chair of the firm’s technology and outsourcing practice, addressed the PLI seminar “Understanding the Intellectual Property License 2011” in Chicago, November 3-4, 2011. Companies are increasingly turning to licensing to gain access to intellectual property at a lower cost than developing or purchasing intellectual property assets, and as a way of generating new sources of revenue out of existing intellectual property assets. This introductory course provided an overview of how to negotiate and draft effective license agreements.
