licensing
A licence is an agreement which allows the licensee to do an act which would otherwise be the exclusive right of the licensor. Licensing-out is commonly engaged in by companies without the resources fully to commercialise their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). Larger companies may conversely licence-in assisting others in developing their products incorporating the IPR through their financial resources, experience, market presence etc. A licence may be exclusive (only the licensee can exploit the IPR) sole (where both the licensor and the licensee can use the IPR) or non-exclusive (where the licensor can appoint other licensees). The licence may or may not include the right for the licensee to grant sub-licences to others within the territory.
