How to License Technology

You may be a business owner with a revolutionary, patented invention, but no capital (or desire) to build the expensive manufacturing and distribution infrastructure necessary to commercialize it. Or you may run a company with a first-in-class manufacturing facility and a global distribution network, but no in-house innovation capabilities.

For these types of situations licensing can provide an efficient and cost-effective way to get products to market and mitigate risk along the way. WBC invites you to the next program in the Law and Owner series, where partner Brian J. Burt of Snell and Wilmer will discuss how to license technology and intellectual property.
