  • Technology Transactions: A Practical Guide to Drafting and Negotiating Commercial Agreements

    Practising Law Institute

    This treatise is written primarily for practitioners who may not be experts in technology transactions -- to empower them to draft, review and negotiate technology transaction agreements with the confidence that they are properly addressing the most important issues.

    This treatise is written primarily for practitioners who may not be experts in technology transactions -- to empower them to draft, review and negotiate technology transaction agreements with the confidence that they are properly addressing the most important issues. The contents have been provided in a streamlined fashion with an eye toward the transactions that an in-house counsel or a traditional IP or general practitioner is frequently asked to handle. The author believes this treatise will also be a helpful resource for vendor contracts management personnel, and as a training resource for any of the foregoing.
    Each of the first eight chapters addresses a discrete type of technology transaction agreement. The intention is that a practitioner be able to use the applicable chapter as a checklist each time he or she is handling that type of transaction. For a transaction involving a combination of elements (for example, software licensing and software development), the practitioner can use more than one chapter (for example, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, respectively) in this fashion. The remaining chapters cover certain areas of knowledge that should inform the drafting or review of technology transaction documents generally.
    Lastly, the chapters in this treatise reflect the author’s views on what contract provisions are key, and in some cases what is (or should be) the right approach to those provisions. The author personally dislikes legal resource books that delve into endless case law or unlikely scenarios that impair, rather than help, the efforts of the busy practitioner -- and that will not be found here.
