About half of molecules that large pharma and new biotech companies licensed in recent deal cycles came from Asia, especially China. Yet many IP risks in these deals are unique to China or different from US/EU practice, and early gaps can hit valuation, enforceability, and exit potential.

We present IP diligence from both sides: what US/EP licensees and investors need to check, and how Asia-based IP owners can prepare clean portfolios for out-licensing.  We will cover common landmines and remedial measures, so the audience walk away with both a high-level overview and actionable insights.

The speakers will provide an integrated perspective from both IP and transactional viewpoints, leveraging a combined half-century of IP diligence experience and collectively representing hundreds of IP owners and acquirers.

Who should attend: 

US BD, IP counsel, in-house legal, and investors evaluating Asia-origin assets.
Asia-side biotech founders, BD heads, and patent counsel preparing for out-licensing.

A recording of the webinar will be shared with registrants who cannot attend live.

CLE credit for this course is available in New York and California. This program is offering 1.0 Areas of Professional Practice CLE credit in NY, and 1.0 General CLE credit in CA. The program is appropriate for both newly admitted attorneys and experienced attorneys. Please contact us for details.
