The contribution of the international engineering contractor in process licensing

Abstract

Whether a process company acts as the licensor of its own technology, or as the licensee of third party technology, it is normal for a contractor to contribute significantly in the realisation of the Company's overall objectives. There are three main areas where a contractor contributes in a licensing situation — the provision of proprietory technology, of services to the licensee and of services to the licensor. The paper examines each of these.
