Technology Transfer Agreement

A Technology Transfer Agreement facilitates the sharing or commercialization of proprietary technology between parties. This playbook provides guidance on ownership rights, confidentiality, and obligations to support the transfer process.

Warranties and Indemnities

Why This Matters: Weak or missing indemnities expose the licensee to significant legal costs and damages if underlying IP is invalid or infringing.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Licensor:

Ensure that the indemnity clauses cover all potential legal costs and damages. Push for unlimited liability where possible and seek to include specific language that addresses third-party claims.

If you're the Licensee:

Limit the scope of indemnities to direct damages and consider implementing a cap on liability. Ensure that warranties are clear but do not overpromise on aspects that cannot be guaranteed.

Essential elements

1

Non-Infringement Warranty

Guarantee IP does not infringe.
2

Validity Warranty

Assure IP is valid and enforceable.
3

Indemnity Clause

Protects against third-party claims.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the indemnity does not cover legal costs or if the warranty language is vague.

EDIT

Reject if indemnities are absent or if warranties are too limited.

ADD

Add clauses if there are no existing warranties or indemnities.

PRO TIP

Always verify the enforceability of indemnities in the relevant jurisdictions.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Robust Indemnity Clause

"The Licensor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Licensee from any claims, damages, or legal costs arising from alleged infringement of third-party rights related to the licensed IP."
NEUTRAL

Standard Warranty Clause

"The Licensor warrants that the licensed IP is free from known defects."
UNFAVORABLE

Limited Indemnity Clause

"The Licensor indemnifies the Licensee only for direct damages, excluding legal costs."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure indemnities are comprehensive and cover all potential liabilities, including consequential damages.

Cross-Border Licensing

Consider jurisdiction-specific indemnities to address varying legal standards and enforceability across borders.

Start-Up Licensors

For start-up licensors, negotiate warranties that reflect the developmental stage of the IP, possibly accepting more limited indemnities.
