Level:Intermediate – Some experience, typically 1-3 years, with IP licensing and interest in specific topics.

Modules: - Basis for different perspectives
- Organization structures (e.g., affiliates for industry or university foundations)
- Academic policies and laws (e.g., Bayh Dole) that impact Technology Transfer
