The patent misuse doctrine can be a formidable defense for licensees in raising claims that could result in the unenforceability of patents. This presentation will explore the doctrine and related licensing issues that arise when negotiating IP license agreements in the life sciences before and after the licensed patents expire. Panelists will discuss best practices for avoiding patent misuse and antitrust issues when licensing intellectual property, while fostering innovation.
