The Copyright Exclusive License agreement is a crucial legal instrument used when a copyright owner wishes to grant comprehensive exclusive rights to another party while retaining underlying ownership. This document, governed by Irish law and compliant with the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000, is particularly relevant when parties seek to establish a sole licensing arrangement for commercial exploitation of intellectual property. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on exploitation rights, territory restrictions, payment mechanisms, and quality control measures. It's commonly used in situations where the licensee requires guaranteed exclusive market access and the ability to prevent others, including the copyright owner, from exploiting the same rights within the specified territory.
