This episode is part of our “Bridging Campuses: Legal Insights on Education Industry Consolidation” series, where we discuss trends in higher education consolidation and closures, and outline common characteristics of at-risk institutions.

In today’s episode, we focus on intellectual property developed at and managed by systems of higher education. We discuss how universities can best manage and leverage their portfolios, including intellectual property assets that they can package together to optimize and increase value of these assets. We also review federal funding and policies that could impact universities, such as potential changes to Bayh-Dole and diversity initiatives.

Laura C. Giles, a partner in Ballard Spahr’s Mergers and Acquisitions Group and a member of the Education Team, hosts the discussion. Laura is joined by Scott D. Marty. Ph.D., a partner in Ballard Spahr’s Intellectual Property Group and co-leader of Ballard Spahr’s Life Sciences Industry Team.

A transcript of the recording will be available soon.
