OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Increasingly academic researchers find themselves signing MTAs to access reagents, providing reach through rights to 3rd parties and/or making use of research technologies (such as CRISPR) that are subject to active patent protection. Although this can accelerate research progress, it also provide significant baggage for your innovations, and may well impact on the potential for commercial development of your ideas.
This seminar will discuss the challenges faced, and aims to identify some smart strategies to plan for and avoid some of the pitfalls.
