In Indiana, there are various types of grants of nonexclusive licenses that can be used in the context of employee inventions. Some common ones include: 1. Limited Use License: This type of license grants the employer permission to use the invention for a specific purpose or within a particular industry or market segment. It restricts the employer from exploiting the invention in other applications or selling it to third parties. 2. Territory-based License: This license restricts the employer's right to manufacture, use, and sell the invention to a specific geographic area. It allows the employee to retain ownership of the invention outside the designated territory or grant license rights to others in different regions. 3. Time-limited License: This type of license grants the employer the right to use and exploit the invention for a fixed period. Once the agreed-upon time frame expires, the rights revert to the employee, allowing them to seek other licensing opportunities or sell the invention to other interested parties. 4. Non-transferable License: This license strictly prohibits the employer from assigning or transferring any rights granted under the agreement to any third party. It ensures that only the employer is entitled to manufacture, use, and sell the invention, preventing the invention from falling into the hands of competitors. A Grant of Nonexclusive License to Manufacture, Use, and Sell an Invention by an Employee to an Employer is a crucial document that clarifies the intellectual property ownership and usage rights involved when an employee creates an invention within the scope of their employment. It establishes the boundaries within which the employer can utilize the invention, ensuring that the employee receives fair compensation and recognition for their innovation. It is essential for both parties to seek legal counsel to draft a comprehensive agreement that protects their rights and interests.
