The parties to a license are the licensor and the licensee. The licensor is the party who owns the intellectual property or information rights and obligates him- or herself to transfer rights in the property or information to the licensee. The licensee is the party who is granted limited rights in or access to the intellectual property or information. A license grants the contractual rights expressly described in the license and the right to use information rights within the licensor's control that are necessary to perform the expressly described rights. A license can grant the licensee the exclusive rights to use the information. An exclusive license means that for the specified duration of the license, the licensor will not grant to any other person rights to the same information.
