License Agreements

In modern business life, license agreements are of utmost importance. They are a good instrument to divide work between inventor and producer or producer and seller, because the inventor is often not able to manage all type of business to market his products efficiently. Therefore license agreements are in addition to the purchase of IP-rights and the formation of a company the most important way of realization of know-how and IP-rights.

By means of license agreements, owners of industrial or intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, copyright or know-how can grant licenses to use their rights. The scope of the license, warranty and liability issues but also the right to copy and modify the work can be subject of such contract. In order to protect the licensee, license agreements often contain indemnification clauses in case that a third party asserts infringement of its rights and for instance claims damages from the licensee.
