OBIO® WiHI Breakfast:
The IP Pathway: turning research into market authorization and everything in between

Join us at our next OBIO® Women in Health Initiative (WiHI) breakfast on October 24 for an interactive discussion to gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of IP licensing and what to expect in early-stage deals.

This session will cover the following:

• IP 101 – How can I protect my IP?

• The Do’s and Don’ts

• What are the most common types of protections 

• To patent or not to patent – that is the question. — Timing  and other considerations  

  Potential IP Pitfalls

• IP and Commercialization

• Ways of granting IP rights  

• The ‘how to’ for managing relationships of stakeholders (employees, founders, incubators, investors, academic institutions and universities)

• How do I move IP from a university (IP policies, commercialization and terms of grant funding).

• Negotiation points and red flags
