Choosing the right type of licence is of immense importance for the company in order to avoid both economic and legal risks. Knowing the legal principles of licensing law is therefore essential.

In order to create a solid foundation, especially with regard to the legal aspects of licensing, the course starts with introducing a strategic approach for preparing and signing optimized software licensce agreements. In particular, after defining the needs of companies, indications are given for the preparation of contract negotiations in order to influence the conclusion of license agreements to the licensee’s advantage
The second part of the course deals with the execution of license agreements in the context of operational license and contract management. In addition to legal aspects regarding the execution of such a contract, the focus is primarily on the organizational measures required for the execution of software license agreements in compliance with the contract.
