Topics will include a discussion of standard license elements; an examination of types of licenses, including but not limited to compulsory, implied, exclusive, non-exclusive, and shrinkwrap/clickon; the study of existing and proposed/pending U.S. legislative and judicial documents and their effect on licensing intellectual property; antitrust and misuse issues; ethical considerations in licensing; and international licensing.
The course will be graded on a combination of drafting assignments and a final paper.
