Professor Nathan Oman has written extensively how Shakespeare's treatment of the infamous "pound of flesh" transaction captured a pivotal moment in English legal history and in the evolution of contract theory. Professor Oman will put the story of the Merchant of Venice in context, and explain how the deal and its resolution reflected a profound shift in the evolution of contract theory. Our panelists will relate Shakespeare's story and Professor Oman's interpretation to modern licensing, and explore lessons that today's licensing executives can put to use in structuring better deals more efficiently consummated. Our panelists bring diverse modern licensing perspectives from brand licensing, high technology, life sciences, and valuation.
