Question
If my company co-owns a patent with a university, and the university's inventor leaves, do I still need a license from them? More importantly, is there a clever fix here?

You have heard the note about asssume? Make an ass-u-me? When you say 'co-own', could you be more specific? If you have an agreement with the uni, and the inventor was under obligation to assign his/her IP to the univ, no need for the question about what the inventor does. But I fear your ownership is not that clear?
