  • Navigating Licensing Deals Involving Chinese Life Sciences Assets: Strategies, Challenges, and Opportunities

    This panel will bring together experienced licensing professionals, legal advisors, and industry executives who have successfully navigated the complexities of doing licensing deals involving Chinese life sciences assets. Attendees will gain practical guidance on structuring, negotiating, and executing China life sciences licensing transactions, including regulatory compliance, due diligence, IP protection, cross-border risks, cultural considerations, and emerging market trends shaping deals with Chinese counterparties.

Additionally, Tali Tuchin, Mintz Member, will speak on the roundtable:

  • Navigating University Technology Licensing: Strategies, Structures, and Best Practices

    This session will cover practical insights into navigating university licensing transactions by understanding the perspectives, priorities, and negotiation dynamics of technology transfer offices, startups, investors, companies, and counsel, with a focus on building successful partnerships that move academic innovations from research to commercial impact.

We look forward to engaging with industry leaders and contributing to the dialogue on technology commercialization, strategic licensing, and risk management in life sciences innovation.
