What is a limited exclusive license?

A limited exclusive license is a type of license used in art law in Kansas. It is when a licensor, or the owner of the artwork, grants an exclusive right to a licensee, or the individual or business that has received the license. This license is not a transfer of copyright, but instead allows the licensee to do certain activities with the artwork. These activities are limited - only the licensee has permission to produce, display, or distribute the artwork for a certain period of time and within certain parameters. This type of license can be useful for businesses or organizations that want to use artwork for a limited period of time. The licensor maintains the copyright of the artwork, while the licensee can use the artwork for their business purposes. This allows the licensor to have control of their artwork and the licensee to benefit from it. Additionally, this type of license can be a cost-effective way to gain access to artwork without having to purchase the copyright or make a permanent transfer of the rights. It also could be beneficial to have a limited exclusive license when a business wants to use artwork from multiple different sources. This way, the licensee can gain access to the work they need without needing to negotiate individual licenses with each licensor.
