Question and options
What does a cross-license agreement typically involve?
- License exchange between two parties for their respective IP assets
- Exclusive licensing of intellectual property to multiple licensees in the licensing agreement
- Joint ownership of intellectual property rights
- Granting a license to use intellectual property to a third party in the licensing agreement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - License exchange between two parties for their respective IP assets
A cross-licence is an exchange in which two parties each license their own IP, often patents, to the other, so each can use the other's technology. It does not create joint ownership, and it is neither a one-way licence to a third party nor exclusive licensing to many licensees.
