About the Course
Many acquisitions are driven by the intellectual property owned by the target company.
In other transactions, intellectual property is an afterthought until it threatens to

diligence in the context of corporate acquisitions, highlighting risks, strategies,
and best practices.
Among the issues discussed in this seminar are:
- •The merits of posing broad versus tailored due diligence questions
- •GDPR sensitivities when researching domain names
- •Complications arising from IP licensed to third parties
- •Concerns related to open-source software in acquisitions
- •Transferability provisions and change-of-control clauses in licensing agreements
- •Methods for remedying gaps in chain of title
- •Key provisions for agreements with independent contractors
- •Enforceability of non-compete agreements in the UK and Europe
- •Effective use of data rooms during transactions
- •Using indemnity insurance to facilitate mergers and acquisitions
