Navigating Technology Collaborations and Joint Ventures—Wolf Greenfield seminar

The pressure for new technologies to fill R&D pipelines, introduce new products, and establish competitive advantage has never been greater. To meet this demand, more companies are turning to collaborations and joint ventures, but structuring these agreements is a challenge, particularly their IP aspects.

• Factors for a successful collaboration partner/relationship
• IP risks and opportunities
• Deal structures yielding the greatest potential
• Restructuring strategies when changes and problems occur
