What is an exclusive license?

An exclusive license in Vermont is a legal document that grants a person or organization the right to produce or sell something that is otherwise protected by copyright law. An exclusive license acts as a type of contract between the licensee and the copyright owner, granting the licensee the right to use the material exclusively for a specific purpose. The licensee’s right to use the material is exclusive because the copyright owner can not permit anyone else to use it. The licensee is also given the right to sue for copyright infringement if anyone else uses the material without permission. This means that the licensee has total control over how the material is used, although they must abide by the terms of the license. An exclusive license is a valuable asset because it prevents others from exploiting the rights of a copyright holder. It also allows the licensee to control where and how their product or material is used, allowing them to ensure their rights are not violated.
