Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)

An MTA governs the transfer of tangible research materials between organizations. This playbook highlights confidentiality, permitted use, and ownership of resulting data or inventions.

Termination and Dispute Resolution

Why This Matters: Unclear termination and dispute procedures can prolong conflicts, increase costs, and disrupt business operations.

Ensure termination clauses provide flexibility for business needs. Advocate for arbitration to minimize litigation costs.
