In the patent world, much attention is focused on the financial impact of litigations; but licensing patents can also be a good way to generate revenue.
Licensing is certainly less costly and has more certainty than generating revenue from patent litigation. However, while a patent holder earns royalty payments on a product鈥檚 future sales, licensing is no guarantee of financial riches either. If the product fails in the marketplace, the royalty checks will fail to appear as well. Also, relationships with a licensee can sour, thus costing you more legal fees and headaches.
Please join 麻豆传媒 and Aoyama & Partners for our seminar entitled, A Closer Look at Patent Licensing, where we will discuss the basic concepts of licensing, how to minimize some of the risks of licensing opportunities, and identifying some of the potential 鈥減roblem areas鈥 in licensing agreements.
