Joint Development Agreement (JDA)

A JDA sets forth terms for collaborative product or technology development, addressing ownership, confidentiality, and IP outcomes. This playbook highlights best practices for defining contributions, milestones, and dispute resolution.

License Scope

Why This Matters: Clear scope provisions protect against unauthorized exploitation or unintended limitations, reducing the risk of disputes and revenue loss by ensuring mutual understanding of rights.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company A:

Ensure the license scope is clearly defined to protect proprietary interests. Specify the territory and field of use to prevent unauthorized exploitation.

If you're the Company B:

Negotiate for a broad license scope to maximize usage rights. Ensure sublicensing rights are included to allow flexibility in business operations.

Essential elements

1

Licensed IP

Intellectual property covered.
2

Territory

Geographic area of use.
3

Field of Use

Specific application area.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the scope is too restrictive or unclear.

EDIT

Reject if the scope does not align with strategic goals.

ADD

Add language to clarify sublicensing rights.

PRO TIP

Always align the license scope with long-term business objectives to avoid future limitations.

Example clauses

FAVORABLE

Preferred License Scope

"The Licensor hereby grants to the Licensee a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the Licensed IP solely within the Field of Use."
NEUTRAL

Standard License Scope

"The Licensor grants a license to the Licensee, subject to specified territorial and field of use restrictions."
UNFAVORABLE

Overly Restrictive License Scope

"The Licensor grants a limited license to the Licensee, with significant territorial and field of use limitations."

Fallbacks

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure the license scope includes indemnification clauses to mitigate potential liabilities.

Global Expansion

For global expansion, negotiate for a worldwide license to avoid regional restrictions that could hinder growth.

Joint Ventures

In joint ventures, ensure the license scope allows for sublicensing to partners to facilitate collaboration.
