Resources to help counsel draft and negotiate research and development (R&D) and related agreements.
Companies often seek to obtain new ideas and technology from outside sources, such as other companies, universities, or individuals. There are many arrangements to achieve this. For example, a company seeking new ideas and technology may:
- Engage in collaborative research efforts.
- Seek to have another party conduct certain research for it.
- Evaluate another entity's technology potentially to license that technology to augment its own technology.
- Accept unsolicited ideas from third parties.
This Toolkit contains continually maintained resources that provide practical guidance on many aspects of transactions where a party seeks to obtain new technologies and ideas.
