and not completed in
a single meeting

about the main points
- Conclude with an
agreement
- For licensing agreements for
more complex technologies
- It is not so easy to reach an agreement
- The points in these
headings should reflect all
the essential aspects of the
business transaction.
- Discussions must be
point by point
- When all points are agreed,
the parties sign a formal
contractual agreement
- The main point to have in
account is that the agreement
must provide for the exchange
of a bargain to create a
executable contract
- The contract must fulfill
three essential points
- Terms of exchange
specified for the bargain
- Something of value exchanged
- Mutual exchange
- In the license agreement,
the licensor agrees to
provide the licensee with
the use of his property
- In exchange for a
fee or royalties

money should be
clear and written

payment that,
typically, is separate
to royalty payments.
