Course Overview

The commercial risk in patents and patent licensing usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. The cost of getting patent licensing wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. What blocks progress on this part of legal and contractual practice is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is designed for mixed groups, so that patents and patent licensing is examined from more than one functional angle. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the wider legal and contractual practice agenda, not around theory headings. They leave able to brief senior management on patent licensing in terms that support a decision. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better patents and patent licensing is rarely technical. Participants apply patent licensing to their own contract portfolio throughout, so the output is directly usable. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within legal and contractual practice that participants can repeat annually.
