Webinar intro:
During the webinar, Dr. Gorbatyuk examines hurdles collaborating parties face when allocating ownership of co-developed inventions. While co-ownership may seem to be the easiest solution, Arina explains that in practice this regime entails a high level of administrative burden and poses barriers to efficient exploitation. She elaborates on contractual strategies collaborating parties may apply to adequately reward all contributors for their efforts without unduly jeopardizing further exploitation of co-developed inventions.
