Negotiation

Negotiation requires specific skills.
Though you may be naturally easy for it, it’s necessary to know its steps and process.
We provide you the ad hoc support.

Especially when it comes to intellectual property related agreements (*), negotiation requires to master, or at least well understand not only the negotiation process, but also the technical, business and legal issues that are at stake.
That’s the core skill and purpose of Oneseveral.

(*) technology transfers, licences, co-ownership agreements, research collaborations, confidentiality agreements, material transfert agreements, …

Depending on your need, we can provide support for

  • preparing your negotiation
    • through the “flash preparation“, which aims, in one hour, to stress the key points, values, arguments and negotiation tactics to be used in your negotiation
    • or through a complete preparation, with the analysis of the technical, financial and legal issues, and the negotiation strategy, including its human and cultural components.

  • conducting your negotiation, on your side, partially or totally.
    This requires a previous complete preparation.

Training

An effective implementation of an intellectual property strategy requires the expertise of the intellectual property professionals, as well as a common language among the stakeholders.

We provide both trainings for your IP professionals on IP related agreements (tech transfer, licensing, …), and sensibilisation sessions specifically adapted to the stakeholders, from operators to top management.

In addition, we provide trainings in negociation, further to the limits of intellectual property.

Mediation and Conciliation

Mediation and conciliation are two out of court processes for fixing disputes, that we can run for any of your differents with an other company. They are strictly confidential, quick, and not expensive.

  • The Mediator, duly qualified for this purpose, is an independant (without any link with a party), neutral ((s)he doesn’t provide his/her own analysis or solution) and impartial ((s)he treats the parties exactly the same) third party, who helps the Parties to find by themselves a satisfying solution to their different.
  • The Conciliator is an expert of the concerned domain. She/he proposes her/his analysis, and helps that way to find a solution.
