This episode outlines four primary licensing models: Access to Technology, Freedom to Operate, Licensing vs Production/Services, and Complementary Licensing. It stresses the importance of tailored agreements with clear objectives and well-defined scope, considering exclusivity, permitted actions, territory, and application fields. Challenges such as trust, handling trade secrets, competition law, and future developments are addressed. Case studies showcase the practical application of these models, emphasising strategic alignment, flexibility, IP portfolio management, and effective communication. The episode concludes that mastering strategic licensing positions companies for success in a competitive global economy, and the licensing model, if properly executed, has the potential to drive growth and create value in ways traditional business models can't.
