Is this course right for me?
The course is designed for people with some experience of licensing, e.g. they have run a few smaller deals themselves or have been involved indirectly in a larger licensing deal. Delegates will probably have been working in a tech transfer role for somewhere between 12 months and 3 years.
Those with experience of research contracts, even without direct commercial licensing experience, will also find this beneficial – although the focus of the course will be on a stand-alone licensing deals, licensing issues will often need to be addressed as part of a research contract negotiation.
The course is viewed from the perspective of universities licensing their technology to industry (which may include to a spin-out company), but it’s equally valuable for those working in industry who are dealing on the other side of the fence as it will enable them to understand the unique pressures that a university is under when licensing its technology.
It may also be useful to those working in funding bodies, particularly those that require or expect the universities to undertake some form of commercial exploitation of the work to better understand the complexities and difficulties of striking a licensing deal.
This is a natural follow on course to Fundamentals of Technology Transfer; indeed, many of the topics introduced there are developed further in this course.
Delegates are not expected to have any legal training, but a basic understanding of IP will be beneficial.
