Patent License Agreement

A Patent License Agreement grants rights to use, manufacture, or sell an invention covered by a patent. This playbook focuses on negotiating royalty structures, field-of-use restrictions, and ownership of improvements.

Dispute Resolution

Why This Matters: Effective dispute resolution provisions ensure timely conflict management, reduce litigation costs, and provide clarity on forum and procedural rules.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Licensor:

Negotiate for a jurisdiction that offers predictability and enforceability, such as New York. Ensure arbitration rules are favorable and cost-effective.

If you're the Licensee:

Advocate for a neutral jurisdiction that balances fairness and cost. Consider arbitration to avoid lengthy litigation.

Essential elements

1

Governing Law

Specifies applicable legal jurisdiction.
2

Venue

Designates location for legal proceedings.
3

Arbitration

Outlines arbitration process and rules.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the jurisdiction is unfavorable or arbitration rules are not cost-effective.

EDIT

Reject if the clause imposes excessive costs or lacks enforceability.

ADD

Add if the contract lacks clear dispute resolution mechanisms.

PRO TIP

Always ensure the dispute resolution process aligns with your strategic objectives and risk tolerance.

Example clauses

FAVORABLE

Preferred New York Governing Law

"The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles."
NEUTRAL

Fallback – Neutral Jurisdiction

"The Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [State/Country], without regard to its conflict of law principles."
UNFAVORABLE

"The Agreement shall be subject to applicable laws without specifying a jurisdiction."

High-Risk Projects

Fallbacks

International Contracts

In international contracts, consider arbitration to avoid jurisdictional issues and ensure enforceability across borders.

Small-Scale Agreements

For small-scale agreements, a simple venue clause may suffice to reduce complexity and costs.
