About the Book

A step-by-step guide to licensing technology-based intellectual property assets For many modern, high-technology companies, licensing their technology-based intellectual property assets is the best way to fully exploit them.

Suitable for companies seeking to implement or redesign a technology licensing program, as well as individual inventors who want to protect and profit from their proprietary technology, Technology Management covers all the bases. Learn to: * Develop a licensing strategy * Conduct proper valuations of intellectual property * Gather and utilize market research * Market your technology * Negotiate and draft licensing agreements Utilize these handy resources: * Glossary of important terminology * Case studies and sample documents * Lists of organizations, publications, trade shows, and other helpful sources of information
