LICENSING AGREEMENT
A licensing agreement represents a written contract between two parties where the property owner (licensor) permits another party (licensee) to use that property under specific terms and conditions. All intellectual property subject matters — including music, design, artwork, photograph, video, and sound — can be licensed by owners.
License types vary: they can be exclusive or non-exclusive, worldwide or jurisdiction-limited, assignable or non-assignable. The terms and conditions of the license are flexible and can be tailored as per the understanding between the licensor and the licensee.
