For many entrepreneurs, licensing from a university may be a new experience. This series of webinars offered by Osage University Partners  provides information that will be helpful for academic entrepreneurs contemplating their first (or perhaps subsequent) license from an academic institution.

In part two of this 5-part webinar series, the panelists will cover:
-The University technology circle of life
