BECOME OUR LICENSEE
A patent holder can license or transfer a patent interest. The licensor gives up the right to intellectual property, usually for a specified period. Patent licensing is an agreement between a patent holder and a licensee to transfer interest in copyright to a licensee and enforce intellectual property rights. Licensing a patent means that the patent owner grants permission to another person/organization to make, use, sell, etc. his patent invention. This takes place according to the agreed terms and conditions for a defined purpose, on an assigned territory, and for an agreed period.
Steinbrill issues a patent license for each country separately. This means that the licensee is entitled to produce, sell, and distribute the licensed product only in the country for which the license was issued. The license is time-limited and is granted for one year. In order to protect the licensee as well as the distributor at the most, the license will not be issued for the country in which the distributor is located, and vice versa, in the country where the licensee is located, there will be no distributor.
Obligation to make patent rights available – The Licensor is obliged to make available to the Licensee all technical documentation and information necessary for the exploitation of the patent to produce and sell the licensed product. The Licensor guarantees to the Licensee the technical feasibility and professional usability of the copyright, whose right to use is transferred by the Patent License Agreement.
