İngilizce bir Lisans Sözleşmesi nasıl yazılır ve ne gibi terimler kullanılır sorusuna bu yazımızda cevap arayacağız. Örnek bir sözleşmeyi yazımızın devamında bulacaksınız.

Gayrimaddi bir hak üzerinde tekel hakkına sahip olan kimse, lisans sözleşmeleri ile bu hakkı iktisadi açıdan en verimli ve kapsamlı şekilde kullandırmayı amaçlar. Marka lisans sözleşmeleri, lisans sözleşmelerinin bir alt kategorisidir.

Kural olarak marka lisansı sözleşmesi iki tarafa borç yükleyen bir sözleşmedir. Lisans sözleşmesinin taraflarını lisans veren ve lisans alan oluşturmaktadır.

Lisans Veren	Licensor
Lisans Alan	Licensee

Sözleşmenin geçerli bir şekilde kurulabilmesi için taraf iradelerinin sözleşmenin objektif esaslı noktalarında uyuşmuş olması gerekmektedir. Sözleşmede taraflar öncelikle lisans konusunu açık bir şekilde belirlemelidirler.

Hukukumuzda öğretide de baskın olarak kabul edildiği gibi,tescilli bir markaya ilişkin marka lisansı sözleşmesi yazılı şekil şartına bağlanmıştır. Nitekim 6769 sayılı Sınai Mülkiyet Kanunu’nun 148/IV. maddesinde bu husus hükme bağlanmıştır.Yazılı şekil ispat şartı değil geçerlilik şartıdır.

• Marka tescil başvurusu üzerindeki lisans tesisi de yazılı şekle tabidir.
• Tescilsiz bir markaya ilişkin yapılan lisans sözleşmesi ise herhangi bir şekle tabi değildir.
