Collaboration and licensing are common in nanotechnology due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field. To manage these effectively:
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Ensure all parties sign NDAs to protect sensitive information during collaborations. - Licensing Agreements: Clearly define the terms of use, royalties, and duration in licensing agreements to avoid disputes. - Joint Ventures: Establish joint ventures or partnerships with clear IP ownership and management clauses.
