Common Types of License Agreements

Here is a list of common types of license agreements and an example for each:

​

  1. Software license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the right to use a specific piece of software, such as a computer program or mobile application, in exchange for a fee. For example, a company may enter into a software license agreement with a software developer to use a specific accounting program for their business operations.

  2. Patent license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the right to use a specific patent, such as a new invention or technology, in exchange for a fee. For example, a company may enter into a patent license agreement with an inventor to use their patented technology in the manufacturing of a specific product.

  3. Trademark license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the right to use a specific trademark, such as a logo or brand name, in exchange for a fee. For example, a company may enter into a trademark license agreement with a clothing designer to use their trademarked logo on a line of clothing.

  4. Copyright license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the right to use a specific copyrighted work, such as a book or piece of music, in exchange for a fee. For example, a company may enter into a copyright license agreement with a musician to use a specific song in a commercial.

  5. Exclusive license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the exclusive right to use a specific piece of intellectual property, such as a patent or trademark, in a specific geographic area or for a specific period of time. For example, a company may enter into an exclusive license agreement with a trademark holder to use their trademarked logo in a specific geographic area for a period of five years.

  6. Non-exclusive license agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the non-exclusive right to use a specific piece of intellectual property, such as a patent or trademark, in a specific geographic area or for a specific period of time.

  7. Sublicensing agreements: These agreements allow a licensee to sublicense the rights to a specific piece of intellectual property, such as a patent or trademark, to a third party. For example, a company may enter into a sublicensing agreement with a patent holder to sublicense their patented technology to a third party manufacturer.

  8. Franchise agreements: These agreements grant a franchisee the right to use a specific trademark and business model in exchange for a fee.

  10. Royalty agreements: These agreements grant a licensee the right to use a specific intellectual property in exchange for a percentage of revenue or royalties generated by the use of the intellectual property.
