Main Volume Information
Intellectual Property Technology Transfer provides the legal framework for the licensing and research transactions between industry and all federally and privately funded research laboratories. This volume maps out the legal landscape in the burgeoning field of technology transfer, where questions about “clean title” to patent rights can disrupt licensing activities, as well as undermine a prospective licensee’s effort to secure financing. This treatise is the only resource to provide a comprehensive analysis of all of the central legal issues confronting and governing the interactions between industry interests and research laboratories doing basic research.
Supplement Information
The 2010 Cumulative Supplement covers major new cases, explaining their importance in language that is appropriate for experienced practitioners, including Stanford v. Roche; eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C.; Campbell Plastics Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. v. Brownlee; and Merck KGaA v. Integra Lifesciences I, Ltd. It also provides new information on the substantive changes resulting from the revisions to the FAR sections governing patent, software, and technical data rights under government contracts; the significant changes to the German Law on Employee Inventions (LEI) resulting from the Law on Simplification and Modernization of the Patent Law; and the ways in which new restrictions on university industry involvement have prompted tighter restrictions in university actions and policies.
