Join LES USA-Canada's St. Louis Chapter for a discussion of technology licensing including agreements, royalty rates, lump sum payments, both patent and know-how licenses, how new business opportunities and passive income is created, and the ability to have people license technology around the world.

Additional topics may include what criteria are used to determine if an invention is patentable. What is the patent process and what is involved? Can you license software that is protected by copyright rather than a patent and what is involved in that process? If your technology is not patentable, can licensing trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights be helpful? What is involved when licensing open-source software and the potential pitfalls?
