Description
Indemnification provisions are often overlooked but are a critical part of any technology license or similar agreement. Drafting and negotiating indemnification provisions is crucial to protecting business interests and minimizing litigation costs.
Counsel to all parties must carefully consider the scope of liability covered by the indemnification obligation, liability triggers, and indemnification of third parties when negotiating the contract terms.
Listen as our authoritative panel of patent attorneys examines structuring patent indemnification provisions and what factors counsel should account for when negotiating and drafting indemnification clauses. The panel will offer best practices for negotiating and structuring patent indemnification provisions to allocate risk.
