I recently hit a major roadblock with CRISPR licensing. The patent landscape is daunting. Anyone else struggling? Let’s discuss strategies to navigate this maze. biotech crispr

Totally hear you, @gene_junkie. My team spent over 6 months negotiating with various patent holders. We ultimately pivoted to licensing from smaller players who offer more reasonable terms.

We’ve been experimenting with CRISPR for gene therapy applications. One thing we’ve learned is to bundle licensing for related patents, which saves time and money. Has anyone else tried this approach?

Good point, @crispr_king. Bundling can definitely cut costs. We’re also considering co-licensing agreements. It seems like a win-win for sharing resources and IP.

Interesting insights. We’re a small biotech startup, and the upfront costs of licensing were a huge burden. Partnering with academic institutions helped us tap into shared patents more affordably.

Just throwing it out there: have you all considered cross-licensing? It’s a bit complex but can be a game-changer if you’re holding valuable IP yourself.
