Licence vs Assignment
A licence grants permission to use intellectual property while the owner retains ownership. An assignment transfers ownership entirely. If you want to keep ownership and grant usage rights, you need a licence. If you want to sell or transfer the IP outright, you need an assignment (not covered by this product).
What's Included
Licence scope clearly defined - exclusive or non-exclusive, with territory and field-of-use restrictions to prevent disputes
Fee structure and payment terms - one-time fees, annual fees, royalties, minimum guarantees - whatever suits the arrangement
IP ownership confirmation - the licensor retains ownership at all times; the licence is a right to use, not a transfer
Sublicensing terms - whether the licensee can grant sublicences, and if so, under what conditions
Audit rights - for royalty-based agreements, the right to audit the licensee's records to verify payments
Licensor warranties - that the licensor owns the IP and has the right to grant the licence, and that the IP does not infringe third-party rights
IP infringement indemnity - the licensor indemnifies the licensee if a third party claims the licensed IP infringes their rights
Termination and consequences - what happens when the licence ends: wind-down period, de-branding, return of materials
Confidentiality provisions - protecting trade secrets and proprietary information exchanged during the licence
Irish governing law - governed by the laws of Ireland

Frequently Asked Questions
An exclusive licence means only the licensee can use the IP in the defined territory and field - the licensor cannot grant the same rights to anyone else (and typically cannot use the IP themselves in that territory/field either). A non-exclusive licence means the licensor can grant the same rights to multiple licensees. Exclusive licences command higher fees.
A licence grants permission to use IP while the owner keeps ownership. An assignment transfers ownership entirely. Use a licence when you want to retain control and earn ongoing fees. Use an assignment when you want a clean break and full transfer. This product covers licences only.
Sublicensing means the licensee can grant usage rights to third parties. This is common in software distribution but should be carefully controlled. Our agreement lets you allow sublicensing with or without prior consent, or prohibit it entirely.
Common structures include: a percentage of net revenue (5-15% is typical for software), a per-unit fee, a minimum annual guarantee plus royalties, or a flat annual fee. The right structure depends on the IP type and the commercial relationship.
