Intellectual property rights may be licensed to other parties. A license is a permission to do something that, without the license, would be an infringement of Intellectual Property.\u00a0<\/strong>Obtaining a license to use someone else\u2019s IP will be necessary\u00a0if you want to use that IP without infringing their rights.<\/p>\n

A license may be granted by a party (“licensor”) to another party (“licensee”) as\u00a0an element of an agreement between those parties. You can talk to the\u00a0best IPR lawyers in India<\/strong>\u00a0to know about IPR Licensing in India.<\/p>\n

IP may be \u201clicensed-out\u201d or \u201clicensed-in\u201d. For example, you may \u201clicense-out\u201d to\u00a0another company or organization in return for a reward, financial or other \u201cin-kind\u201d\u00a0benefits or a combination of both. You may wish to \u201clicense-in\u201d if you want\u00a0to use another company\u2019s IP to develop your own business and products.<\/p>\n

Types of IP licenses:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Exclusive license<\/strong>: Only the person who is granted a license, the licensee, can\u00a0use the IP. The licensor is not entitled to use the IP.<\/li>\n
  2. Sole license: <\/strong>Only the IP owner and licensee can use the IP.<\/li>\n
  3. Non-exclusive license<\/strong>: The IP owner may use and license to more than one licensee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Benefits of IPR Licensing<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Sharing Risk:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Where a licensor licenses the right to manufacture and sell\u00a0products, the licensor receives revenues from that licensing but does not\u00a0take the risk of manufacturing, promoting and selling those products. On\u00a0the other hand, the licensee has the right to use the IP without the\u00a0expense and risk of the research and the costs of developing the product.<\/li>\n
    2. Revenue Generation:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0An owner of IP may commercialize the IP itself and\u00a0may obtain additional income by licensing the IP to someone else to\u00a0commercialize it in a different field.<\/li>\n
    3. Increasing Market Penetration:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0An owner of IP may license another\u00a0business to sell in territories that the owner cannot cover.<\/li>\n
    4. Reducing Costs:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0A business may \u2018buy-in\u2019 innovation to reduce its research\u00a0and development costs.<\/li>\n
    5. Saving Time:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0A business may get its products or services to market more\u00a0quickly by acquiring a license to use existing IP, instead of re-inventing the\u00a0wheel (sometimes referred to as an \u201cengineering workaround\u201d).<\/li>\n
    6. Accessing Expertise:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0By taking a license, a business may tap into\u00a0expertise that it does not have in-house.<\/li>\n
    7. Obtaining Competitive Advantage:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0By acquiring a license to use IP, a\u00a0business may obtain an advantage over its competitors.<\/li>\n
    8. Collaboration:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Businesses may want to work together to develop new\u00a0products and services.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
