Upplåtelsegivare

Upplåtelsegivare is a Swedish term that translates to "grantor" or "licensor" in English. It refers to a person or entity that grants a right or permission to another party. This right can pertain to various forms of usage, most commonly in the context of real estate or intellectual property.

In real estate, an upplåtelsegivare is the owner of a property who grants a tenant the right to use and occupy the property under specific terms and conditions, typically outlined in a lease agreement. This could be a landlord renting out an apartment, a commercial space, or land. The grantor retains ownership but cedes certain rights of possession and use to the tenant, referred to as the "upplåtelsehavare" or "lessee."

In the realm of intellectual property, an upplåtelsegivare is the owner of a patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual asset who grants a license to another party. This license permits the licensee to use, reproduce, or distribute the intellectual property in exchange for royalties or other consideration. The grantor retains ownership of the intellectual property but allows the licensee to exploit it under the terms of the license agreement. The specific nature of the right granted and the obligations of both parties are defined in the relevant legal agreement, such as a lease or license contract.
