OBIO® WiHI Breakfast:
From Bench to Business: Commercializing Your IP to Be Investor Ready

Join us at our next OBIO® Women in Health Initiative (WiHI) breakfast on November 14. This founder-focused session zeroes in on the grant of IP rights: what you give, what you keep, and how to preserve flexibility as you scale. Attendees will walk away with a crisp negotiation framework and actionable guardrails to protect their core intellectual property today while preserving financing and partnership flexibility for tomorrow.

We will translate complex deal mechanics into practical guardrails for entrepreneurs, including:

• demystifying the difference (if any) between license agreements, collaboration agreement, alliance agreements, partnership agreements, etc.

• the difference between sole ownership, joint ownership and licenses

• ownership of background intellectual property, arising intellectual property and improvements

• properly scoping the field and territory

• exclusivity and anti-shelving

• royalties, revenue sharing, reductions and claw backs

• indemnification and limitation of liability

• most favoured nations and rights of first refusals

• reversion rights and transition plans

• investor diligence matters
