Joint Development Agreement (JDA)
A JDA sets forth terms for collaborative product or technology development, addressing ownership, confidentiality, and IP outcomes. This playbook highlights best practices for defining contributions, milestones, and dispute resolution.
License Scope
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the license scope is clearly defined to protect proprietary interests. Specify the territory and field of use to prevent unauthorized exploitation.
Negotiate for a broad license scope to maximize usage rights. Ensure sublicensing rights are included to allow flexibility in business operations.
