Licensing professionals who advise on transaction structure and contract terms need to understand the nature of the parties' business activities, and the business people should have at least a basic understanding of the legal issues. This conference will provide licensing executives and attorneys with an opportunity to develop a solid working knowledge of the business and legal factors that must be addressed to achieve a mutually beneficial licensing arrangement.
