\"\"<\/a>Welcome to our regular column on literary law.<\/strong>\u00a0Today we focus on licensing from\u00a0our monthly guest columnist,\u00a0Kelley Way<\/strong>,\u00a0a lawyer specializing in literary law. If you have general questions for Kelley on licensing or other aspects of literary law, be sure to comment below.\u00a0Thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n

You know\u00a0you’ve\u00a0hit it big when someone approaches you, asking for a license to use your work. And you also know (or at least you should, if\u00a0you’ve\u00a0been reading my articles) that if you\u2019re borrowing heavily from someone else\u2019s work, you should really get a license from them if you don\u2019t want a cease and desist letter from their lawyer. Those are not pretty. Even if they\u2019re polite, they still use scary words like \u201clawsuit\u201d and \u201cinfringement.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what exactly is a license? And what do you want to look for if you\u2019re negotiating one?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To put it simply, a license is a contract,<\/strong> giving someone permission to do something: in this case, to borrow from your work. Depending on how big a smash your work is, or conversely, how badly you want publicity, you may or may not want to charge a fee for the license. Generally, there are three provisions you want to cover (besides the money issue):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Exclusivity\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A license can be either exclusive or non-exclusive.<\/strong> An exclusive<\/strong> license means that the borrower (the licensee in legalese) is the only person who\u2019s allowed to borrow from the work. A non-exclusive<\/strong> license means just what you think it does: the licensee still gets permission, but you\u2019re free to grant another license to any other hopeful person who shows up at your door. Non-exclusive licenses tend to be cheaper than exclusive ones, and they tend to be the norm, unless it\u2019s something like a movie license, where the value of the licensee\u2019s work would decline with multiple licenses. Plus, if you\u2019re the licensee and the work has multiple copyright holders, you have to contact every single one of them to get an exclusive license, and you only have to contact one for a non-exclusive one.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Term\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The term (length) of the license<\/strong>\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0have to be in there, but it\u2019s not a bad idea to cover it, particularly if you don\u2019t want the licensee to have permission to use the work forever (or at least, until the copyright expires). When not stated explicitly, the license is indefinite.<\/strong> The owner of the borrowed work (or licensor), can revoke the license, but that can be a hassle, and if you foresee a time when you\u2019ll want to take the license back, it\u2019s better to just have a provision covering that in the license.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Territory\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It\u2019s a good idea to specify how far your license extends. It can cover a specific geographic region, or the United States, or worldwide.<\/strong> The license can even be exclusively for Internet publication. How far the rights extend factor into the price; the more the licensee wants, the more the licensor can charge. Be aware, if you\u2019re the licensee, that a worldwide license also requires permission from all copyright holders of the work, so it\u2019s more work in addition to more expense.<\/p>\n

        Beyond what terms to include in the contract itself, the prospective licensee should also be as specific as possible when contacting the licensor to ask for permission.<\/strong> It\u2019s much easier for the licensor to decide whether to give permission, and at what price, if he or she knows exactly what rights the licensee wants (see my previous article, \u201cCopyright 101<\/a>\u201d), what part of the work the licensee wants to use, and exactly how and where the licensee plans to use the work.<\/p>\n

        That\u2019s the highlights for granting and requesting licenses. If you have insightful comments, general confusion, or acute hysteria, you know where to reach me.<\/p>\n
