The August 2023 edition of Licensing Journal features an article authored by AJ Zottola, partner, and Ben Myers, an associate of the Intellectual Property Transactions Practice Group. The article focuses on technology licensing, specifically drafting considerations for transferring technology contracts, general and IP specific rules, and drafting recommendations for transfers. The following is an excerpt:
Technology contracts containing IP licenses involve policy implications and rules that compete with the general rule of permissive transferability. Whether these competing rules apply depends on whether the transferring party is the IP owner or user, whether the license is exclusive or non-exclusive, and the type of IP involved.
