licence 1 a permission given by one person to another to do some act that, without such permission, it would be unlawful for him to do. In relation to land, a licence may arise gratuitously, or by contract, or by estoppel. Licences arising from a gratuitous act may generally be revoked at the will of the grantor unless some question of estoppel arises; licences arising from a contract are capable of specific enforcement. Licensing is at the heart of the exploitation of INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. A software developer will normally grant a licence of copyright to the end user which will permit copying (often necessary to use software) and impose restrictions on use. 2 an official document authorizing a specified activity that would be unlawful for the licensee to engage in without such document (e.g. a liquor licence authorizing the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor; a driving licence authorizing the holder to drive a motor vehicle on the public highway). licence
licence - the assignment by one firm to another (exclusive licence) or a number of firms (non-exclusive licence) of the right to use its technology or distribution network or to produce its product. Similarly, the grant by the government to an authority (for example an airport) or firm of the rights to supply a particular product. Licences are contractual arrangements which are entered into usually for a specified period of time, with the licensee paying a lump sum payment and/or a royalty or fee for the rights assigned. For an innovating firm with limited financial resources of its own, licensing offers a means of obtaining extensive national and international sales potential (see FOREIGN MARKET SERVICING STRATEGY) and a quick return on its risk capital. The danger is that the firm, by providing actual and potential (long run) competitors with its know-how etc., will lose control of core technology and products to rival producers. To safeguard this and also to provide greater technological collaboration between firms working both in complementary and diverse areas, a cross licensing arrangement may be established involving the reciprocal licensing of each other's products or technology.
- a document issued by a licensing authority as a means of ensuring that persons or premises are ‘fit and proper’ for the activities in which they are engaged, for example, an investment adviser or premises for the consumption of alcoholic drink.
- a document which shows proof of legal ownership (or entitlement) or compliance with a statutory or private requirement in which a fee is payable, for example a television licence issued by the government, or a private fishing licence. See EXPORT LICENCE.
licence - the grant by one FIRM to another firm (exclusive licence) or others (nonexclusive licence) of the right(s) to manufacture its product, or to use its technology or distribution facilities.

The granting of a licence in these cases is a CONTRACTUAL arrangement that is entered into, usually for a specified period of time, with the licensee usually paying a ROYALTY or FEE for the rights assigned. See EXTERNAL GROWTH, STRATEGIC ALLIANCE, FOREIGN MARKETING SERVICING STRATEGY.
- a document that shows proof of legal ownership (or entitlement) and compliance with a statutory or private requirement for a payment thereon, for example, a television licence issued by the government or a private fishing licence.
