The Intersection of Bankruptcy and Intellectual Property

Wednesday, January 16, 3 - 4:15 pm

Hosted by the Bankruptcy Litigation Committee 

Join our panel in exploring the intersection of bankruptcy and IP.  Panelists will discuss the rights of a licensee when a licensor files for bankruptcy, the rights of a licensor when a licensee files for bankruptcy, and how such rights can impact secured creditors.  Discussions will include copyright licenses, patent licenses and trademark licenses, including the Tempnology case that was recently granted certiorari by the Supreme Court.  Where are there areas of litigation that is most likely to arise in bankruptcy?  What about sample language for license agreements? Or issues that can arise in the context of distressed M&A? Join us to find out!
