Dublin, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Technology Licensing and IP in Practice: Key Issues and Risks (June 22, 2026)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Technology licensing sits at the intersection of intellectual property, commercial strategy and regulatory compliance.
When handled poorly, misunderstandings around technology, ownership, scope of rights or regulatory constraints can undermine value and expose organisations to significant legal and commercial risk.
This practical training course provides a clear and structured introduction to the core issues that arise in technology licensing and IP-driven transactions. Using a worked licensing scenario throughout, the training session unpacks how technology and IP interact, where risks typically arise, and how those risks can be identified and managed at an early stage.
Participants will be guided through a six-step framework covering the technology involved, the parties, the relevant IP rights, the nature of the transfer, key licensing terms and regulatory considerations. The training also addresses due diligence, helping delegates understand what to check, why it matters and how oversights can affect deal outcomes.
The course is designed for those who need a practical grounding or refresher, avoiding unnecessary theory while focusing on real-world licensing issues that arise across sectors.
