Licensing Academy in Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer
This two-week program has been developed for international
lawyers, technology managers and scientific professionals in the public
sector or small-to-medium enterprises who want to understand successful
U.S. models of intellectual property management. Participants will learn
strategies and tactics for managing intellectual property (IP) that
maximize the commercial success and public benefit of their research and
development investments.
The course will cover topics* such as U.S. and international IP
protection, IP management for commercialization, licensing, IP issues in
negotiating an international agreement, starting IP and technology
transfer offices, start-ups and spin-offs from public sector
institutions. To reinforce classroom presentations, the program will be
based on lectures, hands-on case studies and field visits to Silicon
Valley, Napa or to the greater Sacramento area.
This unique course is hosted by the UC Davis International Law
Programs and Public Intellectual Property Resource for Agriculture (
PIPRA).
Lecturers include world renowned instructors from the UC Davis School
of Law and other prominent law schools, outstanding legal practitioners
