As the world's economy falters, more and more businesses struggle to survive. Unfortunately, as businesses fail, these failures can impact relationships and agreements with other parties. Now more than ever, it is important when drafting legal papers to take into account the rights and obligations of the parties if such a failure occurs.  Proper drafting and vesting of rights are key to better protecting your rights in the event of a bankruptcy of the counter-party.

On April 30, 2009, our Intellectual Property and Business & Financial Restructuring practices presented a complimentary webinar to discuss these issues.

During the webinar, Steptoe attorneys and panelists Robert Kovelman, Robbin Itkin, Kelly Frazier, and Katherine Piper, and moderator Brooke Quist:

• Addressed the bankruptcy scenario and issues affecting intellectual property rights;
• Discussed remedies in the event of a bankruptcy; and
• Provided suggestions on how to better protect one's rights under a license agreement in the event of a future bankruptcy of the counter-party.
