What I Wish I Had Known When Taking Assets to the U.S. Market
Wednesday, May 3, 2023 | 2:50 p.m. BST

Entering new markets comes with many challenges: intellectual property licensing, transactions, agreements — the list goes on. Entering the U.S. market is becoming a strategic consideration ever earlier in the growth process for many biotech companies, and experience, knowledge, and effective due diligence in navigating the whole process can save time, money, and headaches down the line. A multi-stakeholder panel will discuss how companies and their investors can optimize their IP portfolios for entry to the U.S., ensure long-term success in securing capital from investors, prepare for licensing and transactions, and minimize litigation risk. Discussion topics will include the following:

How to put yourself in the best possible position for investment and deals

What assets investors and partners will want to see in your IP portfolio

How to protect privileged and confidential information during the due diligence process

Experience and lessons learned about "what I wish I had known" and "what I think I could have done better"
