Register now to be part of the coolest event series of the technology transfer and IP business community in 2025!

The Term Sheet Hackathon* is a unique collaborative action to engage the global IP community, while creating a useful and concrete outcome with the LESI Annual Conference in Singapore as the main event. An outline of the Term Sheet Hackathon program is shown below and described in more detail below  — Stage 1 is now open for registration! It will be repeated to cover different time zones! You can participate in Stage 1 even if you cannot make it to the annual conference (but we hope to see you there, too!)

• Why hackathon? The hackathon format allows for co-creation and real-time interaction between the participants. It is a bottom-up approach that enables a rapid and decentralised development of novel concepts, and it has proven to be useful in many different contexts ranging from startup development to coding — and now we are bringing it into the world of tech transfer, IP, and law!
• Why Term Sheet? A well-drafted term sheet is a crucially important element of successful technology transfer processes and negotiations. It is also a sufficiently short and concise document that is known to all stakeholders of IP deals, which is why it is expected to serve well as the focus and outcome of the program.

Stage 1: CO-CREATING THE CASES

For participants in Asia-Pacific: March 11 at 4pm SGT/SST / 9am CET (click here for event webpage)

For participants in Americas, Europe, Africa: March 17 at 5pm CET / 12pm EDT

• Aim: to create one or more a case scenarios involving AI and data for the hackathon — utilising Gen-AI tools!
• Format: An online workshop open for LESI members and non-members
• The number and types of cases will depend on the fields and interests of the participants.
• Because the case descriptions will be created collaboratively in an online workshop prior to the event, they will meet the needs of the various stakeholders directly and be broadly applicable across various fields.
• Please indicate your industry or field of interest in the registration form. The participants will be divided into teams during the workshop accordingly.
• Selected case descriptions will be included in the in-person Term Sheet Hackathon at the Annual Conference in Singapore in April 2025.
