What is a licence agreement?

A licence agreement is a type of contract used in Art Law, which is the legal practice that deals with the protection, preservation, and buying and selling of artwork. This agreement specifies details such as the parties involved, the nature of the artwork, and the duration of the agreement. It is a contract that grants one party limited usage rights to the artwork of another party. In Oklahoma, legal copyright protection of artwork begins when the artwork is created. In order to use someone else’s artwork, the artist or other copyright owner must grant permission in the form of a licence agreement. This agreement is used to define the parameters of the use and the payment that is associated with the artwork. It outlines the terms and conditions of the use of the artwork and can last from a very short to a very long period of time. In some cases, the licensing agreement can be exclusive, meaning it gives the licensee the right to use the artwork without any competition from other users. It can also be non-exclusive, meaning that the artwork can be licensed can to multiple parties. The agreement also outlines the types of uses the licensee is allowed and the types of usages they must pay for.
