A licensing agreement is generally a contract between an intellectual property owner (licensor) and another (licensee) desiring to use the rights owned by the intellectual property owner in exchange for a payment, or other form of consideration.  An intellectual property license is just one potential avenue for an intellectual property owner to profit from their intellectual property rights. Many different forms of intellectual property can be licensed, i.e., patent licensing agreements, trademark licensing agreements, copyright licensing agreements, and technology licensing agreements.  Additionally, different forms of intellectual property can be licensed within the same agreement.
