Introducing the WIPO GREEN Licensing Checklist

December 6, 2016

As part of our continuing efforts to provide tools that facilitate the transfer of green technologies, we have created the WIPO GREEN Licensing Checklist, designed for those involved in negotiating technology transfer licensing agreements.

Available for free on the WIPO GREEN website, the Checklist provides a list of key issues which should be considered when negotiating and concluding licensing agreements.

Contents

Part I of the checklist covers the fundamentals of the contract, whilst Part II provides specific information on development collaborations, and the final section presents a selection of resources and references for further learning.

The checklist is not an exhaustive resource, but rather provides users with basic information and links to further resources.

User feedback

The Checklist is still at the consultation stage and remains a work in progress. We invite anyone who uses it to contact the WIPO GREEN team with feedback.

Note: This tool is not a substitute for professional legal advice. WIPO GREEN users are encouraged to adapt the checklist to their own needs or projects.
