Cooley partner Heidi Keefe will be speaking at Law Seminars International's fifth annual Licensing Transactions Conference.
Who Should Attend
In-house counsel, IP lawyers, CIOs, CFOs, CPAs and all licensing professionals
Why You Should Attend
Licensing has been used by companies to obtain technology and content beyond their key areas or at reduced cost. In today's economic climate of tighter budgets this is more important than ever. The ability to craft, draft and negotiate complex license agreements is crucial to successful transactions in licensing patents, trade secrets, trademarks or copyrights.
This conference provides insight on complex issues arising in drafting and negotiating licenses and practical tips for addressing contested issues, along with updates on recent case law, new definitions, royalty terms and new technology and business models.
The distinguished faculty will address licensing issues for private cloud networks, special provisions for social media, trends for gamer technology and more, from both outside counsel and in-house perspectives.
Program Co-Chairs: Jeff C. Dodd, Esq., Raymond T. Nimmer, Esq. and Holly K. Towle, Esq.
