In this episode of our two-part series focusing on life sciences, podcast host Ninette Dodoo is joined by Kristen Riemenschneider, Mary Lehner, Richard Bird, and Xin Liu to discuss the complex regulatory landscape associated with licensing and collaboration arrangements. This includes anti-bribery, sanctions and export control risks, unique IP ownership challenges, data sharing issues and antitrust considerations concerns, which can make or break these deals.
