00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,960
Transfer Chapter 8 delves into 
the intricacies of intellectual 

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,480
property, IP licensing, and 
technology transfer, essential 

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,480
tools for the dissemination and 
commercialization of 

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,960
innovations. 
This chapter covers the 

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,040
fundamental aspects of IP 
licensing, the various types of 

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,280
licenses, critical legal and 
business considerations, the 

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,439
role of IP in joint ventures and
collaborations, and effective 

9
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,680
strategies for technology 
transfer. 

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Basics of IP Licensing IP 
licensing is a critical aspect 

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,880
of intellectual property 
management that enables IP 

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
owners to capitalize on their 
assets while retaining 

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,280
ownership. 
To effectively prepare for the 

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,840
bar exam, it's essential to 
understand the fundamental 

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,120
components and legal nuances of 
IP licensing. 

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Scope of rights definition and 
importance The scope of rights 

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,800
in an IP licensing agreement 
precisely defines the extent and

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600
limits of the permissions 
granted to the licensee. 

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,000
This includes specifying the 
types of intellectual property 

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,400
involved, patents, trademarks, 
copyrights or trade secrets, the

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,080
geographical areas where these 
rights may be exercised, and the

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,320
duration for which the rights 
are granted. 

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Geographical area specifies 
where the licensee is allowed to

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,480
use the IP. 
This can be global or limited to

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:41,560
specific countries or regions. 
Duration establishes how long 

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,640
the licensee can use the IP. 
This could be for a set number 

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840
of years until a certain 
condition is met or in 

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720
perpetuity. 
Legal considerations. 

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Clearly defining the scope helps
prevent disputes by making the 

30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,960
rights and limitations explicit 
for the bar exam. 

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Understanding the implications 
of improperly defined scope, 

32
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,800
such as potential overreach or 
unintended restrictions, is 

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,880
crucial. 
Financial Terms Components 

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Financial terms are crucial as 
they dictate the economic 

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400
benefit received by the licensor
in exchange for granting IP 

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
rights. 
Common structures include 

37
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,560
royalties, ongoing payments 
based on the volume of sales or 

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,600
a percentage of revenue 
generated by the licensee. 

39
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,440
Lump sum payments, A one time 
payment for the license. 

40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,680
Often used when the value of the
usage is predictable. 

41
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Equity arrangements. 
Compensation in the form of 

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
equity, typically in startup 
situations where upfront cash 

43
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,560
may not be available. 
Legal framework Royalty 

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,920
calculations must be clearly 
defined, for example, what 

45
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:02,920
constitutes a sale, timing of 
payments, and audit rights to 

46
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:07,640
ensure compliance. 
Tax Implications Different 

47
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,080
financial arrangements can have 
varying tax implications for 

48
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,680
both licenser and licensee. 
Usage Rights Definition and 

49
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,000
scope Usage rights detail how, 
where, and in what form the 

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,920
licensee can utilize the IP. 
This can include field of use, 

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,640
limitations on the type of 
products or services that can 

52
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:37,200
incorporate the licensed IP, 
Exclusivity provisions whether 

53
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,440
the license is exclusive, 
potentially prohibiting the 

54
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,360
licenser from granting similar 
rights to other parties, or non 

55
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,720
exclusive legal nuances. 
Exclusivity and exclusive 

56
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,520
license can be more valuable, 
impacting financial terms. 

57
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Exclusivity must be explicitly 
stated along with any 

58
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,800
exceptions. 
Sublicensing rights whether and 

59
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,040
under what conditions the 
licensee may grant further 

60
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,880
licenses to third parties. 
This should be clearly addressed

61
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,040
to avoid legal ambiguities. 
Types of Intellectual Property 

62
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,200
Licenses Understanding the 
different types of intellectual 

63
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,600
property IP licenses is 
essential for any law student 

64
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,080
preparing for the bar exam, 
especially those intending to 

65
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,600
practice in areas involving 
intellectual property business, 

66
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,800
law, or technology. 
Each type of license serves 

67
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,880
specific strategic goals and 
legal implications that must be 

68
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,600
carefully managed. 
Exclusive License Definition and

69
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,520
Characteristics An exclusive 
license grants the licensee the 

70
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440
sole right to use the 
intellectual property within the

71
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,680
stipulated scope, which includes
geographic regions, fields of 

72
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080
use, or other defined 
parameters. 

73
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,000
The exclusivity means that not 
even the licenser retains the 

74
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,840
rights to use the IP in the 
areas or manners specified in 

75
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,680
the license, unless explicitly 
reserved. 

76
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,240
Legal Implications 
Enforceability. 

77
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,800
The exclusivity of the license 
must be explicitly stated and 

78
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,920
clearly defined to be 
enforceable. 

79
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Breach of contract If the 
licensor infringes on the 

80
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,440
exclusivity, it could lead to 
claims of breach of contract. 

81
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Duration and termination. 
Details of the exclusivity 

82
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
period and conditions under 
which the license may be 

83
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,440
terminated must be carefully 
stipulated to avoid legal 

84
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,240
disputes. 
Non Exclusive License Definition

85
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,760
and characteristics A non 
exclusive license allows the 

86
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,280
licensor to grant the same or 
similar rights to multiple 

87
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,200
licensees. 
This type of licensing is common

88
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,040
in industries where broad 
distribution is beneficial, such

89
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,920
as software and digital content.
The licensor retains the right 

90
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360
to use the IP and to license it 
to other parties without 

91
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,800
restriction unless otherwise 
agreed upon. 

92
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Legal implications, Scope and 
limitations It's essential for 

93
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,280
the agreement to specify the 
scope clearly to prevent 

94
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:25,600
overlaps that might lead to 
unintentional competition among 

95
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,040
licensees. 
Revenue streams. 

96
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,600
Non exclusive licenses typically
generate revenue through volume,

97
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,040
so understanding market 
saturation and potential 

98
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,240
licensee performance is 
critical. 

99
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,360
Sublicense definition and 
characteristics. 

100
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,280
Sublicensing involves a licensee
obtaining rights from the 

101
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,760
licenser and then granting some 
or all of those rights to a 

102
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,360
third party under terms that 
should align with the original 

103
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,520
licensing agreement. 
The right to sublicense is not 

104
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,800
inherent and must be explicitly 
granted in the original license.

105
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Legal implications Control and 
oversight The original license 

106
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,960
are often retained some level of
control over sublicensing 

107
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,920
arrangements, such as approval 
rights over sublicensees or 

108
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880
specific terms that must be 
mirrored in sublicensing 

109
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,880
agreements. 
Liability The original licenser 

110
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,280
may still be liable for certain 
obligations under the main 

111
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,000
license, particularly related to
the IP's integrity and 

112
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,200
enforcement. 
Ensuring that sublicensees 

113
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760
adhere to IP standards is 
crucial. 

114
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Legal and business 
considerations in IP licensing 

115
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,240
For students preparing for the 
bar exam, understanding the 

116
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,520
legal and business 
considerations involved in IP 

117
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,200
licensing is crucial. 
These considerations ensure that

118
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,840
intellectual property rights are
effectively managed, legally 

119
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,200
protected, and aligned with 
broader business strategies. 

120
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Here's an expanded discussion on
the key areas you need to be 

121
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,040
well versed in. 
Due Diligence Definition and 

122
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,760
importance. 
Due diligence in the context of 

123
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,560
IP licensing involves a thorough
investigation into the 

124
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,800
intellectual property to ensure 
it is valid, enforceable, and 

125
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,080
free of legal encumbrances. 
This process confirms the IP 

126
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,520
owner's rights to license the IP
and helps the licensee avoid 

127
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,440
potential future legal 
challenges. 

128
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,679
Key aspects. 
Validity checking the IP's 

129
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,280
registration status, scope, and 
term for patents. 

130
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,920
This may involve confirming that
the patent is in force and has 

131
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640
not been declared invalid in any
jurisdiction. 

132
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,560
Enforceability. 
Ensuring that the IP rights are 

133
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,160
enforceable involves verifying 
that there have been no legal 

134
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,280
decisions or precedents that 
could adversely affect 

135
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,040
enforceability. 
Freedom to Operate Conducting a 

136
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Freedom to operate analysis to 
ensure that commercializing the 

137
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,480
IP will not infringe on the 
rights of others. 

138
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Bar Exam Focus Be prepared to 
discuss how due diligence 

139
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,680
impacts the rights and 
obligations of both licensers 

140
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,600
and licensees and how failures 
in due diligence might lead to 

141
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,200
litigation. 
Negotiation strategies. 

142
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,080
Definition and importance 
Negotiation strategies and IP 

143
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,200
licensing involve the 
development of terms that meet 

144
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,160
the strategic business 
objectives of the parties while 

145
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,240
managing risks associated with 
IP rights. 

146
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Key elements Aligning interests.
Crafting an agreement that 

147
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,120
aligns with the business goals 
of both parties, such as growth 

148
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,800
objectives, market expansion 
plans, and risk tolerance. 

149
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,960
Risk management addressing 
potential IP infringement 

150
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,160
issues, ensuring proper 
liability clauses are in place 

151
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,040
and negotiating indemnification 
provisions to protect against 

152
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,280
losses resulting from claims of 
IP infringement. 

153
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,440
Flexible terms considering the 
need for flexibility in the 

154
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,480
licensing agreement to 
accommodate future business 

155
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:29,880
changes and market conditions. 
Bar Exam Focus Understand the 

156
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,760
legal implications of various 
negotiation terms and how they 

157
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,160
can be drafted to minimize risk 
and maximize benefit. 

158
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,440
Be aware of typical clauses 
found in IP licensing agreements

159
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,640
and their legal significance. 
Compliance and Monitoring 

160
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,760
Definition and Importance 
Compliance and monitoring 

161
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,920
involve the mechanism set up to 
ensure that the licensee adheres

162
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,040
to the terms of the IP licensing
agreement and that the IP is 

163
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840
used within the agreed scope and
limitations. 

164
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Mechanisms include regular 
reporting. 

165
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,120
Licensees may be required to 
provide regular reports on how 

166
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,080
they are using the IP, including
sales data and geographical 

167
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,920
information. 
Audits Provision for audits, 

168
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,440
either scheduled or random, to 
verify that the IP is being used

169
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,640
as per the licensing agreement. 
Performance clauses Clauses that

170
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,080
require the licensee to meet 
certain performance metrics, 

171
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080
which can include financial 
targets or developmental 

172
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,160
milestones. 
IP and joint ventures and 

173
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,720
collaborations For law students 
preparing for the bar exam, 

174
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,160
understanding the role of 
intellectual property, IP, and 

175
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,680
joint ventures and 
collaborations is crucial, 

176
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,240
especially given the complexity 
of such arrangements in high 

177
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,400
tech, pharmaceutical and biotech
industries. 

178
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,840
This section elaborates on how 
IP issues should be handled in 

179
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,080
these contexts, focusing on 
ownership, use of IP, 

180
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,800
contributions, rewards, and 
dispute resolution. 

181
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Ownership and use of IP Key 
considerations. 

182
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Clear definitions. 
It is vital that agreements 

183
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,280
between parties clearly define 
who owns existing IP and IP that

184
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,240
is developed during the 
collaboration. 

185
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Ownership effects not only how 
IP can be used during the 

186
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,880
collaboration but also how it is
managed after the venture 

187
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,720
concludes. 
Management of IP. 

188
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,680
The agreement should specify who
will manage the IP. 

189
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520
This includes decisions about 
filing for protection, such as 

190
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,000
patents, maintaining IP 
registrations, and handling the 

191
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,880
commercialization process. 
Usage rights. 

192
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,400
Details about who can use the IP
and under what conditions should

193
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,600
be explicitly stated. 
This often includes whether the 

194
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,680
IP can be licensed out to third 
parties and the scope of such 

195
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:15,680
licensing bar exam focus. 
Expect to analyze complex 

196
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:20,040
scenarios where IP ownership and
use clauses in joint ventures or

197
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,360
collaborations are ambiguous or 
lead to conflicts. 

198
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,000
Understanding precedents and 
legal standards that guide these

199
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,280
determinants is crucial. 
Contributions and rewards key 

200
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:39,480
considerations IP contributions 
Each party's contributions to 

201
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,320
the joint venture, including 
existing IP and resources 

202
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,440
dedicated to developing new IP, 
must be clearly documented. 

203
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,080
This is crucial for determining 
how profits, royalties, or other

204
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240
forms of revenue are later 
divided. 

205
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Sharing of benefits. 
The agreement must detail how 

206
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,280
revenues or benefits derived 
from the exploitation of the IP 

207
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,440
are to be distributed among the 
parties. 

208
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,320
This might include sales, 
revenue, royalties, or equity in

209
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,360
any entities formed. 
Performance Metrics Setting 

210
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,640
clear performance metrics can 
help ensure that all parties 

211
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,200
meet their obligations and 
contribute as agreed, which can 

212
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,960
impact how rewards are shared. 
Technology Transfer Strategies 

213
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,400
For Law students preparing for 
the bar exam. 

214
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,200

their auspices. 
This includes identifying 

226
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,040
potentially patentable 
inventions, securing IP rights, 

227
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:34,120
and maintaining IP portfolios. 
Negotiation of Licenses TT OS 

228
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,760
negotiate licensing agreements 
with commercial entities that 

229
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,800
wish to develop academic 
discoveries into marketable 

230
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,000
products or services. 
These agreements must carefully 

231
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,800
delineate terms regarding the 
scope of the license, financial 

232
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,640
arrangements, and obligations of
the parties. 

233
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Facilitation of 
Commercialization Beyond 

234
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,280
licensing, TT OS often assist in
the broader process of 

235
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,600
commercialization, which may 
include helping startup 

236
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920
companies based on the 
technology, sourcing funding, 

237
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,320
and providing business 
development support. 

238
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Bar Exam Focus Students should 
understand the legal frameworks 

239
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,440
governing the operation of TT 
OS, including compliance with 

240
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,360
university policies and federal 
regulations. 

241
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,960
For example, the Bay Dole Act in
the US, which regulates the 

242
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,760
commercialization of federally 
funded research. 

243
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Expect scenarios testing your 
ability to navigate the 

244
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,320
complexities of IP management

and industry partners to conduct
joint research. 

249
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,040
They must specify how IP rights 
are handled, including ownership

250
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,360
of new discoveries and sharing 
of existing IP. 

251
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,599
Licensing agreements. 
Often technology transfer occurs

252
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,599
through licensing agreements 
where the university retains 

253
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:14,480
ownership of the IP but grants 
commercial rights to a company. 

254
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,079
These agreements should address 
royalties, upfront payments and 

255
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:23,160
milestones, development and 
commercialization. 

256
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,680
The ultimate goal of these 
partnerships is often to bring a

257
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,800

Intellectual Property Licensing 
Basics of IP Licensing 

269
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,800
Introduction IP licensing is 
defined as the process by which 

270
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,400
IP owners grant permissions to 
another party to use their 

271
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400
intellectual property under 
specific conditions. 

272
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,160
This enables IP owners to 
monetize their assets while 

273
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,880
retaining ownership. 
Key Components The chapter 

274
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,320
elaborates on critical aspects 
of a licensing agreement, 

275
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,160
including the scope of rights, 
financial terms, and usage 

276
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,720
rights. 
Each component is crucial for 

277
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,200
defining the boundaries and 
economic terms of the agreement.

278
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:59,640
Types of Licenses Exclusive 
licenses grant exclusive rights 

279
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,160
to the licensee, often excluding
even the licenser from utilizing

280
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:10,000
the IP within the defined scope.
Non exclusive licenses allow 

281
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,080
multiple parties to access and 
use the IP suitable for 

282
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,040
technologies applicable across 
various industries. 

283
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Sublicenses involve permissions 
granted by the licensee to a 

284
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,640
third party extending the 
original terms of the license 

285
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,040
under controlled conditions,
