IP Licensing Agreement Template
Contract template · Pro
An IP licensing agreement grants someone the right to use your intellectual property — software, designs, content, trademarks — without transferring ownership. The value is in the precision: exactly which rights, in which field, in which territory, for how long, and for what compensation.
Use this template to license your work to partners or customers, or to formalize your own use of someone else's IP.
What's inside
- Licensed IP identification and grant scope (field, territory, exclusivity)
- Royalties or license fees and reporting
- Quality control and brand-protection standards
- Sublicensing and assignment restrictions
- Term, termination, and effect on existing uses

Frequently asked questions
License or assignment — which do I need?
An assignment permanently transfers ownership; a license grants defined usage rights while you keep ownership. If you want continuing control or recurring revenue, license. This template is a license — ownership never moves.
How are royalties usually structured?
Common structures are a flat fee, a percentage of net sales, or a per-unit rate — often with a minimum annual royalty to keep exclusivity meaningful. The template includes reporting and audit clauses to make royalties verifiable.
Is this template free to use?
This is a Pro template — it requires a paid Pactiamo plan. Plenty of free templates are available in the same library, and every plan starts with a free tier.
Can my client sign this online?
Yes. You share a single link; your client reviews and e-signs from any device without creating an account. You can also embed your own payment link so they can pay right after signing.
