CLP is pleased to present a panel session on Thursday, March 30, 2:00pm ET. Registration is free, but pre-registration is required.

Buyer’s and Sellers’ Remorse - Did I pay too much for that license, or did I fail to secure enough value?

A common question organizations in the business of in- or out-licensing IP rights and other assets encounter is, “How do we know how much the asset is worth?”  The typical, and rather unsatisfactory, response is, “It’s the amount a willing buyer is prepared to pay a willing seller.”

However, there is always the fear of paying too much or asking too little. 

This 90-minute session is designed to help participants gain an appreciation for how commercial entities and academic institutions identify and evaluate opportunities.  When there’s a deal to be made, how do they value their respective IP rights and other contributions that they may bring to the relationship? The moderated session provides the opportunity for participants to engage with industry leaders in valuable dialogue on this important topic and pose their questions to the panel.

Participants attending this session can use this as partial credit towards the education and training requirement for the CLP-Associate credential or for existing CLP holders seeking to recertify.
