Module 8: Licensing Negotiation Preparation™
Successful licensing discussions begin long before a negotiation takes place. The strongest licensing outcomes typically result from preparation, clarity, realistic expectations, and understanding the issues that may arise during commercialization discussions.
The purpose of this module is to help members prepare for future licensing discussions by understanding common negotiation topics, evaluating priorities, and identifying areas that may require professional support.
By the end of this module, you will have completed your Licensing Negotiation Preparation Plan™.
Why This Module Matters
Many innovators focus heavily on technology, products, patents, or marketing materials while giving little thought to the discussions that occur once a licensing partner expresses interest.
