On Monday, October 19, Robins Kaplan partners Benjamen Linden and David Prange will speak at the Licensing Executives Society (LES) Annual Meeting on the session titled, “Valuing and Licensing “Know-How” and Managing Spin-Off Relationships.”
This workshop presentation will address challenges and considerations for valuing “know-how” as part of a larger IP licensing relationship and strategies for retaining value if a portion of the IP rights (e.g., patent) expire. While a licensor may not be able to retain all royalties as time-limited IP rights expire, in some circumstances defaulting to a standard step-down rate approach may give away too much value. This workshop will explore strategies to structure IP licensing agreements with a “know-how” component, pitfalls to be aware of, and how to retain licensing value as IP rights may expire.
