A Tennessee Grant of Nonexclusive License to Manufacture, Use and Sell an Invention by Employee to Employer is a legal document that grants permission to an employer to manufacture, use, and sell an invention created by an employee. This type of license ensures that the employee's invention remains protected and that the employer obtains the necessary rights to benefit from its commercialization. In Tennessee, there are a few different types of grants of nonexclusive licenses to manufacture, use, and sell an invention by an employee to their employer: 1. Tennessee Grant of Nonexclusive License: This is a standard grant of license where the employee agrees to give their employer a nonexclusive right to manufacture, use, and sell their invention. This license does not limit the employee's ability to license or sell the invention to others. 2. Exclusive Tennessee Grant of Nonexclusive License: In some cases, an employee may grant an exclusive license to their employer, which means that only the employer can manufacture, use, and sell the invention. This grants the employer exclusive rights to the invention while preserving the employee's ownership. 3. Limited Tennessee Grant of Nonexclusive License: In certain situations, an employee may grant a limited license to their employer. This type of license specifies the scope and duration of the license, allowing the employer to manufacture, use, and sell the invention within defined parameters. This ensures that the employee retains some control over the invention. When drafting a Tennessee Grant of Nonexclusive License to Manufacture, Use and Sell an Invention by Employee to Employer, the following elements should be included: 1. Identification: The document should clearly identify both the employee and employer, including their names and addresses. 2. Invention Description: The invention should be described in detail, including its purpose and functionality. 3. Grant of License: The employee should grant the employer a nonexclusive license to manufacture, use, and sell the invention. 4. Scope and Limitations: Any limitations on the license, such as geographical restrictions or specific uses, should be clearly outlined. 5. Duration: The duration of the license should be specified, either with a set time limit or until certain conditions are met. 6. Compensation: The agreement should address any compensation or royalties the employee may receive for granting the license to their employer. 7. Intellectual Property Ownership: It is essential to clarify that the employee retains ownership of the intellectual property rights while granting a license to the employer. 8. Confidentiality and Non-disclosure: To protect trade secrets and confidential information, the agreement should include provisions that restrict the employee from disclosing any proprietary information related to the invention. It is important to consult with a legal professional or attorney familiar with Tennessee laws to ensure the agreement complies with all the necessary legal requirements and protects the rights of both parties involved.
