szublicencelés

Szublicencelés is a Hungarian term that translates to "sub-licensing" or "sublicensing" in English. It refers to the practice where a licensee, who has been granted rights to use intellectual property (such as software, patents, or copyrighted material) by the original owner (the licensor), then grants a portion of those rights to a third party. This is distinct from a simple assignment, where the original licensee transfers all their rights to another party. In a sublicensing arrangement, the original licensee retains some rights while still being able to grant others.

The terms of a sublicensing agreement are typically governed by the original license agreement between the licensor and the initial licensee. The original license often specifies whether sublicensing is permitted and under what conditions. It may require the licensor's explicit consent for any sublicensing activity, or it might allow it with certain restrictions. The sublicensing agreement then outlines the scope of rights being transferred to the sublicensee, including any limitations on use, duration, and geographical territory. The original licensee, known as the sublicensor, remains accountable to the original licensor for the sublicensee's actions and adherence to the terms of the primary license. This practice is common in various industries, particularly in technology and media, allowing for wider distribution and utilization of intellectual property.
