In the recent years of rapid industrial innovation, technology transfers and alliances between companies both foreign and domestic have become very important and abound. Companies are striving to maximize the value of their IP portfolio and actively licensing or selling their IP rights to boost profitability. For realizing successful technological alliances and transfers, comprehensive analysis and support not only from legal or technical aspects but also from business, financial, or cultural standpoints are vital. Especially, contract negotiation is the key determinant of success or failure of the project, and it requires accurate prescience acquired from past business experience.
