From: "Elizabeth E. Kirk" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 12:02:09 +0000 Gary, While we have not been in a similar situation, almost every license I sign (and that is a very large number) states that the licensee cannot assign their rights under the contract. In other words, there would no longer be any access after a sale. This is a standard clause, so you will need to reread each license. Best regards, Eliz Kirk Elizabeth E.

Negotiations are now underway for a large, non-profit health network to purchase our teaching hospital. We are starting to explore the implications for our licenses and possible solutions to provide access to information to the hospital staff. If you have faced a similar situation and wouldn’t mind chatting about it, can you email me directly?
