About

University College London (UCL)'s Drafting and Negotiating Intellectual Property Terms in Research Contracts practical, online short course provides a structured discussion of various types of intellectual property (IP) clauses in research contracts and other IP-rich agreements.

Overview

Key facts

You'll learn about:

  • why each clause is needed
  • how such clauses tend to be worded and negotiated
  • alternative clauses that are encountered
  • how the outcome of the negotiations may affect your organisation's interests

University College London (UCL)'s Drafting and Negotiating Intellectual Property Terms in Research Contracts course will focus mainly on IP-related topics. Practitioners who require training in all aspects of contracts (work and payment terms, limitation of liability, law and jurisdiction, confidentiality, duration and termination, etc.) should consider combining this course with a more general contracts course.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • IP terms that are encountered in research grants, EU consortium agreements, Lambert agreements, MTAs and other IP-rich contracts: what is essential (or required by a funder) and what is 'nice to have'? 
  • Negotiating issues, including arguments for and against particular IP clauses and compromise proposals 
  • Drafting: the importance of accurate drafting of IP terms and how to avoid ambiguity 
  • Managing IP risks through appropriate contract terms and other measures, including due diligence

General requirements

The course is intended for:

  • contracts managers
  • technology transfer and licensing executives
  • lawyers, patent attorneys and other practitioners whose job involves reviewing or drafting IP terms in research contracts

The level of the course is higher than a general introduction but not a legal 'masterclass'.

You'll be expected to understand the basics of the international IP system, and will probably have some practical experience of negotiating IP terms, so you can participate in the discussion. However, you're not expected to have had extensive experience or training in intellectual property.
