No Blocking Patents Sample Clauses

The No Blocking Patents clause ensures that neither party to an agreement will assert patents that could prevent the other party from using, making, or selling products or technologies covered by the agreement. In practice, this means that if one party owns patents that are essential to the implementation of the licensed technology, they agree not to enforce those patents in a way that would block the other party’s activities under the agreement. This clause is crucial for enabling smooth collaboration and innovation, as it removes the risk of patent litigation that could otherwise halt development or commercialization efforts.
