I am departing from my usual form of commentary to pose a short request for information from readers. I have just completed a short piece for a publication on the issue of the treatment of IP licenses in a bankruptcy proceeding. While there is apparently a major divide on the issue between the U.S. position and the position elsewhere on whether a licensee can seek to force the licensor in bankruptcy to continue with the license, all systems seem to allow the trustee, in some fashion, to reject the license.My question is whether any reader is aware of a decision under a national bankruptcy law in which a trustee has rejected the license and the issue was later brought to court. If so, I would be most grateful for receiving particulars about such decision. Please post the particulars as a Comment below or, if that is not possible, email me here
