Licensing and exploiting technological research is an essential source of revenue for many companies, universities and research institutions. It is vital that those who advise on issues or agreements relating to the transfer of technology or who manage the licensing of technology have a good understanding of the issues involved.
Licensing Technology provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal, contractual and managerial issues involved in transferring technology to the market. It will help the busy practitioner to avoid the many pitfalls that can arise from badly drafted contracts and to exploit intellectual property more profitably.
Written in an accessible style, the third edition takes full account of important case law developments over the last few years in Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA and covers the full range of topics involved in licensing, including the commercial and contractual background, EC competition law (including EC Regulation 1/2003 and EC Regulation 772/2004). It will be a valuable resource for lawyers, patent attorneys, licensing executives and R&D managers.
This book also comes with a free CD-ROM containing the full text of relevant EC legislation and guidelines on technology licensing from other jurisdictions. A chapter discussing the relevant laws in China, India, Taiwan and Vietnam has also been added.
