This article provides comprehensive, practical advice for in-house counsel, outside counsel and others on how to evaluate and respond to patent licensing demands with the goal of resolving the matter at minimal cost, preferably without the need for licensing or litigation. It is based on the author's years of experience working inside multi-billion dollar, global technology companies, with primary responsibility for well over 100 licensing demands.
