Collaborative research, whether in the academic context or the industry context, requires dividing up rights to newly developed patents, know-how and data between parties who have each contributed technology, expertise, services, and/or funding. The challenges and risks of entering into collaborative research increase when the project involves combining proprietary technology of two or more parties,
Foley Hoag Licensing and Strategic Alliance Chair Sarah Cooleybeck will join experts Jimmy Zhuang (Novo Nordisk), Kenny Karanja (University of Minnesota) and Steven Ferguson (NIH) for a workshop on the Top 10 Considerations for Determining IP Ownership in Life Science Research Collaborations during the Licensing Executives Society (LES) USA-Canada Annual Meeting. From complex collaborations to material transfer agreements, the panel will explore optimal ownership structures, their pros and cons, and best practices for allocating new IP. The session is designed to equip attendees with strategies to navigate the challenges of collaborative research, whether with government, academia or industry.
