"The women who go first and speak out help shape a better world for all of us, yet all too often their stories are lost. I was not going to let that happen to this story." - Excerpt from Anne Gardiner Perkins's Yale Needs Women

To help amplify as many Yale women's voices, we are excited to announce the launch of amplifyHERscience Stories, a Podcast series. amplifyHERscience Stories will recount the tales of talented innovators and entrepreneurs, the technologies they’re developing, and the complex paths they've traveled to achieve their goals and pursue their passions.

Startup Licensing 101: The License, Part 2
For many entrepreneurs, licensing from a university may be a new experience. This series of webinars provides information that will be helpful for academic entrepreneurs contemplating their first (or perhaps subsequent) license from an academic institution. Presented by an attorney who represents many academic startups, including their investors, along with two academic technology transfer veterans, these webinars bring views from both sides of the table and best practices for a fruitful and efficient negotiation.

Part five of this 5-part webinar series will cover the 'lawyer' parts of the license, including:
- Indemnities
- Liabilities
- Patents
- Ownership
- Name Use

Note that the license part of the series will only cover certain areas of the license agreement. These are areas often most discussed during negotiations, particularly with those unfamiliar with university license agreements.
