License Agreements 101

Loeb & Loeb LLP is pleased to announce that partner Douglas N. Masters will be lecturing on "Drafting A Trademark License Agreement" at the upcoming Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education Program, "License Agreements 101."

From the program website:

A long-standing business client comes into your office with a new, innovative plan for her business, asking for your advice. As you discuss her plan, it becomes apparent that she will need intellectual property (IP) protection.

• What questions should you ask your client?
• What information do you need from outside sources?
• Are different clauses necessary for a copyright agreement than those required for a trademark agreement?
• When should you seek help from an IP professional?  

Learn the answers to these questions and more at License Agreements 101. Illinois attorneys with experience in intellectual property practice will present the differences in drafting the four most-used types of license agreements: patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets. Plus, gain insights into how to dodge pitfalls in drafting and avoid litigation.
