(Content presented at the AUTM Annual Meeting)
Contract disputes among collaboration partners can create tremendous business, financial and legal risks for academic, industry and other participants. It is critical that disputes be anticipated as a normal part of any business relationship and incorporated into planning. Adequate time needs to be devoted to these subjects before and after a contract is executed. The full range of tools available to address collaboration conflict should be understood by all the players.
The discussion of this topic will encourage licensing professionals to strive to negotiate agreements emphasizing real world implementation over the long term and to work internally and externally to establish a start-to-finish, systematic approach to conflict management using appropriate internal resources or external neutral resources. This session will explore a variety of techniques that can aid collaboration participants in preventing disputes from arising or spinning out of control once they do, including a survey of past company conflicts and dispute resolution techniques and clauses, negotiation and partnering techniques, and a sophisticated understanding of the full range of dispute minimization, escalation and resolution mechanisms that can be used to bridge gaps.

A few months ago, a judge ordered Apple to pay the University of Wisconsin $506 million for infringing one of its tech patents. Last year, Carnegie-Mellon University won $750 million in a patent infringement lawsuit against Marvell Technology Group. With such big-money patent cases in the news, you might think that owning a patent can create a major windfall of profit for universities. While this has proven true for a handful of institutions, the truth is that most universities actually make little or no money from licensing the inventions they produce.

Though still a nascent technology, solid-state batteries are hot right now. Among the most prominent proponents is Toyota, which aims to commercialize solid-state batteries for electric cars by 2022. Other auto competitors are close on Toyota's heels in the rush to satisfy government mandates for emission-free alternatives to gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles. BMW, for example, has also indicated a keen interest in developing solid-state batteries for their promise of better safety and higher energy density.
