To celebrate the end of 2023 and the coming New Year, the Licensing Executives Society Malaysia (\u201cLES Malaysia\u201d)<\/strong> organised a year-end party to connect with fellow LES Malaysia members and friends. The much-anticipated social event saw a crowd of approximately 50 pax, including ex-LES Malaysia committee members, mix and mingle over a buffet dinner spread of light canapes, a generous salad, soup and dessert bar, and delectable hot mains. An exciting pub quiz was the highlight of the night where everyone’s IP and general knowledge was put to the test.  We look forward to organising more events for fellow LES Malaysia members and friends in the community to further strengthen and build ties.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Licensing Executives Society Malaysia (LES Malaysia), in collaboration with the Malaysian Bar Council welcomed over 180 participants to a seminar titled \u2018Contractual and other Legal Issues in Licensing\u2019. The seminar consisted of talks by experienced speakers who gave in-depth presentations into Intellectual Property (IP) licensing and also consisted of an interactive licensing game.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"IMG_6813\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The first to speak was Dr Mark Horsburgh, the President of LES ANZ. The topic of his presentation was \u2018Prior Preparation and Planning Prevent Poor Performance\u2019. As the title of his presentation suggests, Dr Horsburgh\u2019s presentation focused on the importance of prior preparation when it comes to IP licensing, whether on part of the licensor or licensee. Dr Horsburgh gave a few factors that one should bear in mind when preparing, in particular the importance of knowing what is being licensed, where is it being licensed, when to license, who is licensing and how the license will happen. Dr Horsburgh also stressed the importance of diligent prior preparation and thinking outside of the box when it comes to negotiating an IP licensing agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"IMG_6850\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

After a short tea break, the seminar reconvened with a talk by Mr. Wong Sai Fong, senior partner at Messrs. Shearn Delamore & Co. and who is also member of LES Malaysia. The title of Mr Wong\u2019s presentation was \u2018Practical Considerations in IP Licensing\u2019. Mr Wong\u2019s submission (as he termed it) was divided into 7 practical considerations that one should take into account when it comes to IP licensing, namely who owns the IP rights, the process and considerations of negotiations, the need for IP due diligence or audit, the need to identify and avoid anti-competition problems, the need to quantitatively value IP rights, the need to consider other agreements that interact and interrelate to the IP license and the need for preliminary agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"2012-11-05-409\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Next up was Dr Jasmine Kway, Executive Vice President\/Business Development of Transpacific IP who is also an Exco of LES Singapore, talked about developing a licensing strategy. Dr Kway\u2019s presentation focused on the need to assess IP rights for licensing and the valuation of IP rights. Dr Kway explained the many different ways of valuing IP rights, but stated that one needs to be flexible and realistic when valuing IP rights, and not just focus on one particular method of valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

After lunch, participants were treated to a licensing game with the jovial and charismatic Chew Phye Keat, partner of Raja, Darryl & Loh as well as a Committee member of LES Malaysia, who explained the rules and purpose of the game. Participants were divided into groups of ten and further divided into groups of five, with one side representing the licensor and the other representing the licensee. Participants were required to identify the various issues of dispute in the licensing agreement and negotiate an agreement. The game ended with Mr Chew identifying the various issues in the licensing agreement, thus illustrating the detailed analysis needed when it comes to negotiating a licensing agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"IMG_7022\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The last speaker of the day was Mr. Alban Kang, managing partner of ATMD Bird & Bird, Singapore, who talked about contractual pitfalls to avoid in licensing. Mr. Kang highlighted different areas in a licensing agreement where one should tread with caution when drafting, for example the scope of the license, where the need to define the parameters of the license is pivotal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
