ip licence
1 Credit
IP may be licensed from a third party into your business, or from your business out to a third party. Essentially a licence is a permission – and in the case of IP, it is permission to use IP in a specific way, as agreed between the parties.
Licences may be straightforward, with a fixed fee and a fixed term. Or they may be more complicated, with royalties paid on the basis of quarterly profits, with a term that is automatically renewed.
Whether you are licensing IP into or out of your business, an agreement is essential to ensure that the IP rights are properly protected for both parties and that there are clear provisions around payment, liability and termination of the licence.
