Executive Certificate in Technology Transfer, Royalty & Franchise Law

Technology transfer enables businesses and institutions to commercially exploit technological knowledge, intellectual property, processes, and innovations through structured contractual arrangements. Royalty arrangements determine how the owner of intellectual property or technology is compensated for its commercial use. Franchising involves granting another party the right to operate a business using established intellectual property, systems, branding, and business methods. These arrangements require careful allocation of ownership, operational control, financial obligations, quality standards, confidentiality, and liability. This subject provides a practical framework for understanding technology transfer, royalty structures, and franchise relationships from a legal and commercial perspective.
