Join IPO's IP Chat Channel on February 19th (2-3pm ET) for a webinar on "Essentials and Pitfalls in Drafting IP Provisions in Commercial Agreements." Commercial agreements are equally as essential as patent litigation or patent prosecution when it comes to protecting a company’s IP. This webinar will cover key aspects for both disclosing and receiving parties to consider when drafting these types of agreements, including non-disclosure agreements, joint development agreements, supply or vendor agreements, service agreements, and manufacturing agreements. The webinar will also address IP ownership and indemnification in the context of commercial relationships. Panelists include Jennifer Carnahan (Dow Chemical Company), Leland Hansen (McAndrews, Held & Malloy, Ltd.) and Will Tinker (Caterpillar Inc.).
