This is a model contract form for use in business settings, a Patent License Agreement. Available for download in Word format. A Wisconsin Patent License Agreement is a legal contract that allows a patent holder (licensor) in Wisconsin to grant permission to another party (licensee) to use, manufacture, and sell the patented invention in exchange for royalty payments or other agreed-upon compensation. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for the licensee's use of the patented technology and is essential for protecting the rights and interests of both parties involved. The Wisconsin Patent License Agreement covers various aspects related to the patent, such as the scope of the license, exclusivity (whether the license is exclusive or non-exclusive), territory (geographical limitations on where the licensee can utilize the patent), duration, and royalty calculations. It also addresses issues like patent ownership, infringement, termination clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms. There are different types of Wisconsin Patent License Agreements that can be used depending on specific circumstances and needs: 1. Exclusive License Agreement: This type of agreement grants the licensee exclusive rights to use and exploit the patented invention within a specific territory, to the exclusion of the licensor and other potential licensees. 2. Non-Exclusive License Agreement: In contrast to an exclusive license, a non-exclusive license agreement permits the licensee to use the patented technology while allowing the patent holder to grant licenses to other parties as well. 3. Sole License Agreement: A sole license agreement provides the licensee with exclusive rights to the patented invention, but it retains the right for the licensor to use the technology within limited circumstances. 4. Field-of-use License Agreement: This agreement allows the licensee to use the patented invention in a specific field or application, while the licensor retains rights in other fields. This type of agreement is common when a patent can be applied to various industries. Wisconsin Patent License Agreements play a vital role in fostering innovation, promoting technology transfer, and enabling the commercialization of patented inventions. These agreements provide a legal framework for inventors and companies to share their technology with others while ensuring fair compensation and protecting their intellectual property rights.
