DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Drafting
International R&D Collaboration and Joint Venture Agreements”
conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
This intensive, practical one-day course will explain what you need to
know and do to get the commercial results from your R&D and joint
venture agreements in 2019, whether they are operating in the UK or
across borders.
When you are embarking on a project, which is in partnership with
another organisation, be they academia or industry, both parties will
need to agree on the thorny topic of IP ownership, other common
provisions and the type of collaboration structure that will suit them
both. The allocation of risk and ancillary agreements such as
confidentiality, material transfer agreements and heads of terms also
have to be wrestled with.
