Lisenssinhaltijalta

Lisenssinhaltijalta is the elative form of the Finnish noun lisenssinhaltija, meaning “from the license holder.” In legal and contractual contexts, lisenssinhaltijalta denotes the party that grants permission to use a work or asset under a license. The license holder is the owner or controller of the rights, and lisenssinhaltijalta is the source of the permission described in the license agreement.

In licensing practice, lisenssinhaltijalta authorizes certain rights to a licensee. Rights may be granted on a non-exclusive or exclusive basis and are typically limited by factors such as scope of use, geographic territory, media or format, and duration. A license from lisenssinhaltijalta may cover activities like reproduction, distribution, public display, adaptation, or commercial use, depending on the asset and negotiated terms. The agreement also sets conditions on payment, attribution, quality control, and any required reporting.

Obligations of the lisenssinhaltijalta include asserting clear ownership or control of the rights, ensuring that granting the license does not infringe third-party rights, and enforcing the agreed terms. They may impose warranties, limitations of liability, or termination rights and may require compliance with quality standards or ongoing monitoring. Sublicensing and transfer of rights are commonly addressed, with lisenssinhaltijalta often retaining oversight over how the licensed rights are exercised.

The concept is used across domains such as software, music, film, images, and patents. While the exact terms depend on jurisdiction and contract law, the lisenssinhaltijalta remains the central reference point for who grants permission and under what conditions the rights may be used.
