Control of Licensing Subgroup Presentation

The document outlines key themes discussed by the Control of Licensing Subgroup, focusing on the balance between control and communication in the context of licensing agreements. It distinguishes considerations before and after a license is granted. Pre-license factors include developing a licensing strategy, selecting an appropriate licensee, and conducting negotiations—all processes where maintaining control and ensuring effective communication are paramount. Post-license, the subgroup identifies monitoring the licensee’s progress as an important aspect, although other specific post-license control measures are not detailed in the provided content. The overarching theme emphasizes the need to manage both the scope of control and the channels of communication throughout the lifecycle of licensing arrangements.
