Key Legal Documents Used in Commercialization Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso — your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are several legal documents used in the commercialization process Here’s a list of key documents to know: Non-disclosure agreement — referred to as an NDA, this document requires the signatories to confidentiality with regards to information about the project. Material transfer agreement — refers to physical materials such as biologics and chemicals that ensure transfer of possession but not legal title.  Licensing agreement — defines the terms and conditions of the use of technology by the licensee. This also includes the financial terms and licensor’s obligations. Contract research agreement — this defines the research work to be done and the terms and conditions of the work. Collaborative research agreement – this defines the work to be done by both parties in a joint project. Participation agreement — this defines the role and responsibilities of a researcher working in a project. Consultation agreement — this defines the consulting work to be done along with the rules and requirements. Consider these documents in your commercialization process.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
