What this document does
This agreement grants a licence to use IP you own while ownership stays with you. You choose the type (software or SaaS, a copyright work, a trade mark, or a patent), how exclusive the licence is, the territory, the term, and how you charge (a one-off fee, a subscription, or royalties). An Australian solicitor reviewed and approved the template, and it is drafted to hold up under the consumer guarantees, the post-2019 competition rules and the Privacy Act. You answer plain questions and download it ready to sign.

No jargon, no upsell.
- Which kinds of IP does it cover?
- Software (installed or SaaS), other copyright works like content and designs, a trade mark, or a patent. You pick the type at the start and the agreement adjusts, including the quality-control terms a trade-mark licence needs by law.
- Does a licence transfer ownership of my IP?
- No. A licence is permission to use the IP while you keep ownership. If you want to transfer ownership instead, that is an assignment, which is a different document.
- Can I make the licence exclusive?
- Yes, you can choose exclusive, sole or non-exclusive. An exclusive or sole licence between competitors can raise competition-law issues, so the form warns you and you should get advice before using it in that situation.
- How can I charge for the licence?
- A one-off lump sum, a recurring subscription, or royalties based on the licensee's sales or use. The royalty and per-seat options add reporting and audit rights so you can check what you are owed.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. It is $49 once. No monthly fee and no lock-in. You pay for the document and that is the end of it.
