Sample term sheet for EPO 2010. Health warning: this term sheet has been prepared to illustrate some of the points discussed during Module 4C. It is not being put forward as suitable for any particular transaction, and indeed may be highly unsuitable for some types of licensing transaction. Legal advice should be sought as to the appropriate terms for an individual transaction.
