1, exclusive authorization. That is, the licensee enjoys the exclusive right to use the transferred technology in a certain area and within a certain period of time, and the licensor and any third party shall not use the technology to manufacture and sell products in the area within the specified period of time. Exclusive licenses are generally used in the fields of trademarks and patents. Due to its harsh use restrictions, the transferee has to pay higher usage fees and enjoy the market advantages brought by technology and brand advantages.
2. Exclusive license. Refers to the licensor allowing the importer to use its technology within the time limit and territory stipulated in the contract; Licensor shall not transfer the technology to a third party, but Licensor reserves the right to use the technology. The degree of restriction is lower than that of exclusive license and higher than that of ordinary license.
3. Simple license. It means that the licensor allows the licensee to use its intellectual property rights on the designated goods or services within the time limit and territory stipulated in the contract, while still retaining the right to use it and the right to license others to use it. This kind of license fee is low, which easily leads to vicious competition in a certain region.
