This practical and user-friendly guide has been designed to provide a clear and straightforward explanation of every aspect of the law concerning the transfer and exploitation of technology and intellectual property.
The principles and practice of technology law are fully examined, to cover all the legal issues involved in the transfer and exploitation of technology and intellectual property, not only the relevant intellectual property laws, but also the pertinent rules of contract, tax, property law, EC law and UK competition.
The book includes coverage of all important Acts, decisions and related law including:
- Analysis of the EC Technology Transfer Regulation and other block exemption regulations and Commission Notices, as well as UK competition laws
- The text of the US Antitrust Guidelines on Licensing is also included as is a review of English case law on the interpretation of technology licences and similar agreements
- Discussion of intellectual property laws which affect commercial transactions
- Practical explanation of UK tax laws affecting technology-related agreements
- Analysis of UK competition laws and property laws affecting intellectual property transactions
- Analysis of the methods of valuing technology, including a review of standard royalty rates in particular industries
As the UK economy moves from being product to information based, the transfer, sale and exploitation of technology and intellectual property have become of increasing commercial significance. Lawyers are expected to advise on all the legal issues affecting such transfers, both at the national and international level. This requires knowledge of a broad range of legal subjects including intellectual property, contract law, competition laws and tax.
