A sole licence is one in which the patentee does not himself abstain from manufacture. Such licences are not therefore very common since the patentee will usually either wish to maintain his monopoly and satisfy the market by his own manufacture or get out and leave it to his licensee. On the other hand a licensee is often not interested in paying an entrance fee to be one of a crowd, so to speak, but is prepared to pay for the privilege of running in double harness with the patentee and from the patentee’s point of view discretion may be the better part of valour if he is confronted by a powerful and reluctant competitor who is prepared to settle on this basis. For these and other reasons the sole licence is rare but is sometimes a way out of a difficulty.  4, record 3, English, - sole%20license

an arrangement whereby two parties each licence the other in respect of their own intellectual property.  1, record 4, English, - cross%20licensing

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

There exists a number of situations in which the barter of patent rights is more advantageous to patentees than would be mutual royalty patents. Accordingly, one patentee may agree to licence another under one or more of his own patents in exchange for a license to use one or more patents owned by the other patentee. Such an arrangement is often referred to as cross-licensing. This type of bargain is most commonly struck where one party owns a patent whose claims dominate the claims of one or more patents held by the other. In such a situation, absent a license by each to the other, neither could the owner of the dominant patent make use of inventions covered by the claims of a subservient patent, nor could the owner of a subservient patent make use of the inventions covered by the claims of his own patents.  2, record 4, English, - cross%20licensing
