What is a licensing agreement?

A licensing agreement is an agreement between two parties that allows one party (known as the licensor) to grant rights or privileges to another party (known as the licensee). In regards to art law in North Carolina, this agreement allows the licensor to grant the licensee permission to use certain intellectual property, such as artwork, logos, or photographs. It often includes terms about how the licensee can use the material, how long they can use it for, and any compensation due to the licensor. Licensing agreements are a common part of art law in North Carolina, as they help protect the legal rights of the licensor and allow them to receive compensation for their copyrighted work. Licensing agreements are also used in many other areas of law, including music, software, and other intellectual property.
