Common use of License to Use Vendor Patents Clause in Contracts

License to Use Vendor Patents. (a) The Vendor grants to the Owner and its Affiliates, under patents which the Vendor owns or has a right to license ("Vendor Patents"), a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive license (the "Patent License") to use any Product furnished by the Vendor under this Contract (including any combination of products and services, whether or not furnished at the same time or as part of a larger combination) for provision of telecommunications services; provided, however, that no rights are conveyed to the Owner and its Affiliates with respect to any invention which is directed to (i) a combination of a Product or Products furnished with any other Item which the Vendor does not furnish to the Owner under this Contract wholly or in part for such use, or (ii) a method or process which is other than an inherent use of the Products furnished. As used in this subsection 14.5, the term "inherent use" means a use that can be completely performed by a Product furnished by the Vendor (or a combination of Products furnished by the Vendor), without the need for any additional product, service, development modification or programming by the Owner and its Affiliates or by a third party.
