Key IP considerations in R&D agreements—checklist Using this Checklist This Checklist focuses on the IP aspects of R&D agreements and identifies the key terms typically included in an R&D agreement. This document can be used as a checklist of issues to consider when drafting, reviewing or negotiating such agreements. Key competition law considerations are also considered. However, an individual assessment will need to be conducted as to whether an agreement’s IP provisions are compatible with competition law, particularly the prohibitions against anti-competitive agreements under Article 101(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and Chapter I of the Competition Act 1998 (CA 1998). On 1 June 2023, the European Commission adopted the EU Research & Developments Block Exemption, Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/1066 (EU R&D BER) and the accompanying Horizontal Guidelines. The EU R&D BER entered into force on 1 July 2023 and will expire on 30 June 2035. On 5 December 2022, the UK government laid before Parliament the Competition Act 1998 (Research and Development...

Bridge to bond facilities What are they? A bridge to bond facility is a type of acquisition financing where the buyer requires the certainty of a fully committed financing package, but which is intended to be replaced in the future with a mid- to long-term financing in the form of high yield bonds. In markets where acquisitions typically do not have a financing condition, a bridge financing package (which is available to be drawn if necessary) is often a key component to a successful bid. This Practice Note focuses on bridge to high yield bond financing. However, investment-grade borrowers also commonly use bridge facilities for acquisitions. Bridge commitments for investment-grade borrowers differ in many ways, including: lower pricing, much less restrictive covenants (the terms often follow the borrower’s existing credit facilities) and the securities demand mechanic may not be included (or if included, it may only be triggered by ratings downgrade). Bridge commitments for investment grade borrowers may also have longer maturities (or extension rights exercisable by...

What are the main pros and cons of remote access mediation versus face-to-face mediation? Practising social distancing, coronavirus (COVID-19) style, presents serious challenges for the mediation of disputes. Some brave souls may still be willing to try face-to-face mediations (subject to compliance with the guidelines), but virtually all seem to have moved online during the coronavirus crisis. At present there is not much need of debate—either mediate on line or probably not at all until the social distancing regime eases. Two questions can however be posed today. If remote mediation is the only realistic choice, is it worth trying? Is remote mediation attractive in its own right and will it be part of the mediation scene post coronavirus? Practitioners may answer both questions in the affirmative. Online dispute resolution is nothing new—it has been around as long as the technology has been readily available. However, it is not really accurate to describe most of the available processes as mediation, they are really bargaining forums where offers and...
