Navigating IP in Commercial Agreements: From NDAs to Collaborations and Manufacturing Contracts

​Navigating IP in Commercial Agreements: From NDAs to Collaborations and Manufacturing Contracts
Presented by AirFrameIP

As startups grow, they increasingly engage with third parties through confidentiality agreements, material transfers, research collaborations, strategic partnerships and manufacturing arrangements. Each of these relationships presents important intellectual property (IP) considerations that can affect a startup's ability to protect, develop and commercialize its technology.

Join AirFrameIP for a practical educational seminar exploring key IP considerations across four common types of commercial relationships:

• ​Disclosures and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Protecting confidential information and managing IP disclosures.

• ​Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs): Understanding IP rights and obligations when sharing materials for testing, evaluation or research.

• ​Collaboration and IP Partnership Agreements: Addressing background IP, ownership of newly developed IP, licensing rights and commercialization considerations.

• ​Manufacturing Agreements: Protecting IP when working with third-party manufacturers and scaling production.

​Throughout the session, participants will be introduced to AirFrameIP's online learning platform, including practical tools and resources designed to help technology companies identify, assess and manage IP considerations in their commercial relationships.
