Description:

On March 21, 2014, the European Commission had adopted a new block exemption and new guidelines on technology transfer agreements. The exemption and guidelines govern the application of competition rules on licensing agreements involving patents, know-how and software, and enforced it on May 1, 2014. This presentation will focus on the key provisions and novelties in these texts and their impact on the drafting of legal clauses in licensing agreements.

Thomas De Meese and Sean-Paul Brankin will speak at this event.
