This online seminar provides knowledge on how to best reduce IP risks in R&D collaborations through contract design and management.

Topics
  • Identification and prevention of areas of conflict
  • Special features of international R&D collaborations and the involvement of state funding
  • Reduction of legal risks and conflict prevention through contract drafting and contract management
  • Dispute resolution mechanisms in R&D collaborations
  • Case study 'Escaping into co-ownership in an international R&D cooperation'
  • Implementation of IP risk management in corporate practice


Who should attend
You work in the IP/patent/legal department of a company/research institution/university or as a lawyer or patent attorney in a law firm and deal with R&D contracts?

Then this is the right online seminar for you. Heads of development and engineers alsobenefit from attending the seminar. Knowledge in IP is desirable.
Aims and objectives
Many R&D cooperations face considerable legal challenges. The cooperation between companies and research institutions often leads to conflicts, particularly with regard to the allocation and utilisation of IP. These conflicts can jeopardise the success of a project if they are not recognised and proactively addressed at an early stage. Contracts often lack preventative mechanisms that could defuse potential disputes in good time, and there is a lack of tried and tested procedures for downstream dispute resolution.

By attending the seminar, you will learn how to identify and minimise legal risks in R&D projects and minimise them at an early stage. Our experts will show you how to avoid conflicts through targeted contract drafting and which measures are available in the event of a dispute. You will receive practical insights into tried and tested dispute resolution mechanisms and their application to national and international cooperations. Real case studies will illustrate how you can successfully manage IP risk in critical situations and efficiently resolve disputes.
Your benefit

After the seminar

  • you will be sensitised to where conflicts can arise in an R&D collaboration,
  • you will be able to minimise legal risks and prevent conflicts through skilful contract drafting and prudent contract management,
  • you will know how to implement IP risk management with regard to R&D cooperation in business practice.
