MaryAnne Armstrong, Ph.D.
Birch Stewart Kolasch Birch LLP
Discusses important issues that should be considered when entering into a collaborative research agreement. In particular, she will address questions such as:
- What should you think about before exchanging proprietary information and how do you protect your information, yet let someone else know of your technology?
- How do you equitably protect any innovations that result from collaboration?
- Death and divorce – How do you plan for the collaboration ending?
