Joint Development Agreements cover formal collaborations where two or more parties plan to jointly develop, test or commercialise products or technology. A solicitor drafts, negotiates and finalises the contract, including IP ownership, background IP, foreground IP, contributions, milestones, confidentiality, exclusivity, funding and commercial terms, and a dispute resolution framework.
