A licensing agreement is a legal document between two parties – the licensee or the person who owns the intellectual property (IP) and the licensee or person who obtains a license for the use of the IP address. The licensee may hold a copyright, trademark, patent, service mark, trade secret, know-how or other IP. This type of agreement allows Harvard researchers who are creating a new licensed business without difficulty to copyrighted non-patentable software that they have developed as part of the faculty`s research efforts. In cases where there are patentable topics such as unique algorithms, please read the „Exclusive Basic License” agreement model published above. If you are looking for a document that only transfers copyright, read our assignment of the copyright model; If you are looking for a document that is only copyrighted, check out our copyright model license. A license for patent rights held by Harvard is subject to conditions similar to those provided in the form agreements in the links below. Some concepts can be changed to take into account the clear aspects of each situation. In particular, financial conditions are established on the basis of the technology granted, the licensee`s business model and the market standards in the sector in which the taker operates. To view type trust agreements, hardware transfer agreements or research cooperation agreements, please return to our standard agreements site. In a way, this document is similar to our standard advisory contract, but does not contain any provision for the provision of services: it deals exclusively with the management of intellectual property rights.

Harvard offers certain materials (usually organic research materials) for commercial use on a non-exclusive basis. Some materials, such as Z.B. Souris, are generally offered on a flat-rate basis or with fixed annual payments; others, such as hybrid cell lines, also include licensed payments. Typical agreements for both types of hardware licenses are listed below. After the contract is written, the validity of the copyright license is the same as the duration of the contract. In other words, if the contract is terminated, the license is terminated. However, they may amend the contract to allow the licence to continue beyond the termination of the contract. The following type licensing agreement includes an agreement between licensee Valerie J Toups and licensee Matthew K Jordan. Valerie J agrees to allow Matthew K Jordan to use the IP granted under the specified conditions. Access to Harvard`s innovations should be as simple as possible.
