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.
Term & Termination
Negotiation strategy
Negotiate for a longer initial term with favorable renewal terms to ensure continuity and stability. Include specific exit rights to protect IP and confidential information.
Aim for shorter initial terms with flexible termination options to allow for strategic pivots. Ensure that termination for convenience is balanced with adequate notice periods.

Action framework
