What is an Intellectual Property Rights License Agreement?

An intellectual property rights license agreement is a contract that allows one party to legally use the intellectual property rights of another. This intellectual property can include trademarks, patents, trade secrets, or copyrights. By entering into the agreement, the licensee is permitted to access and use intellectual property assets for personal gain for a certain period of time. The agreement typically includes what specific assets are being licensed, how much the licensee will pay to use them, and for how long the use is authorized for.

Since using another person's intellectual property without their permission is illegal, the intellectual property rights license agreement enables licensees to avoid costly litigation that would likely result from unauthorized use.

This BRAND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March     , 2011, but is made effective between the parties hereto as of                      (the “Effective Date”) by and between CNL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC., a Florida corporation (“Licensor”) and CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (“CCT”) (CCT and its Controlled Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) are collectively referred to herein as “Licensee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of the name and mark “CNL” and other intellectual property and proprietary materials that together constitute the brand image by which Licensor is known to the public. Licensor’s intellectual property and proprietary materials, include, but are not limited to: Licensor’s proprietary management systems, trade secrets, trade names, corporate names, product names, service marks, tag lines and descriptors, domain names, designs, typography, color palettes, and copyrightable works, including but not limited to content of its internet sites, stationery, signage, promotional items, advertising and marketing materials, trade show booths, sponsorships, events, awards, press releases, quarterly and annual reports, presentations, photographs, forms, and electronic media as it relates to Licensor and its Affiliates (the name and mark “CNL” and the other intellectual property and proprietary materials which together constitute the brand image and language by which Licensor is known to the public are herein collectively referred to as the “IP Rights”); and

WHEREAS, among the components of the IP Rights are the service marks listed on Appendix A hereto for the services indicated on Appendix A and the United States service mark registrations and applications for registration listed on Appendix A (collectively, the “Marks”); and

WHEREAS, CCT wishes to obtain a non-exclusive license to use the IP Rights, including, without limitation, the Marks, in connection with the promotion of Licensee’s relationship with affiliates of Licensor in connection with Licensee’s provision of its products and services, and Licensor is willing to grant to Licensee a non-exclusive license to use the IP Rights, including, without limitation, the Marks for such purpose, provided that CCT agrees to comply (and cause its Controlled Affiliates to comply) with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties agree as follows:

 

I. LICENSE GRANT TO IP RIGHTS

A. Licensor’s Grant to Licensee. To the extent Licensor owns or controls such rights, Licensor grants to Licensee during the Term of this Agreement a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the IP Rights, including, without limitation, the Marks and certain copyrighted works, each only in connection with the promotion of Licensee’s relationship with Licensor in connection with advertising or promoting Licensee’s products and services, for use in Regulatory Filings (as herein defined), and for making or having made Approved Derivative Works (as herein defined). Except as set forth in this Agreement, such license as may be granted in this Agreement may not be assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred by Licensee, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Licensor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion, and any attempt to do so in violation of this Agreement will be without legal effect and void under this Agreement. To the extent that the IP Rights licensed hereunder include any trade secrets, Licensee shall not reveal, distribute or otherwise disclose the trade secrets to any third party.

B. Consideration for Licenses. For the promises received and given and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Licensor grants to Licensee the licenses and rights to the IP Rights and Marks as provided in this Section I. The License shall be considered fully-paid and there shall be no royalty or other fee due for the license granted to the Licensee herein during the period this Agreement is in effect as well as for the Transition Period.

C. Licensee’s Grant to Licensor. To the extent Licensee owns such rights, Licensee grants to Licensor (as well as Licensor’s affiliates) a non-exclusive, world-wide, irrevocable license to use the Regulatory Filings (as herein defined) and Approved Derivative Works (as herein defined) and such license shall include all rights necessary for Licensor or its affiliates to advertise, promote, sell and conduct any of its business affairs and dealings as they relate to its relationship and this license with Licensee provided such use by Licensor (or its affiliates) complies with all applicable state and/or federal laws, rules or regulations (collectively, Licensor’s “Retained Rights”).

 

II. REGULATORY FILINGS AND RETAINED RIGHTS

A. CCT’s Regulatory Rights and Approved Derivative Works. CCT shall own such rights, including any intellectual property rights, as may exist, exclusive of any and all rights in the IP Rights or Marks and subject to Licensor’s Retained Rights, in:

 

  (1) any documents filed by Licensee with any state or Federal regulatory agency or body as well as its annual and quarterly reports and supplements or corrections thereto (collectively, the “Regulatory Filings”); and

 

  (2) any advertising and promotional materials that Licensee uses on websites and other works created by or on behalf of Licensee subject to this License that contain or are derived from the IP Rights or that use the Marks wherein such works have been approved by Licensor subject to Section IV of this Agreement (collectively, the “Approved Derivative Works”).

B. Survival of CCT’s Rights. CCT shall continue to own such copyrights in the Regulatory Filings and Approved Derivative Works after termination of this Intellectual Property License subject to the continuing obligations relating to the IP Rights including as identified in Sections III and IV.

 

III. LIMITATIONS AND RIGHTS REVOKED

A. Licensor’s Retention of Rights. Licensor retains all rights in the IP Rights not expressly granted in the License in this Agreement. Licensee shall not use the designation “CNL” as a part of its identification including, without limitation, in the name of a newly formed corporation or other entity or the name of a new product or service without the express, prior written consent of Licensor, which consent may be granted or denied at Licensor’s discretion. Licensee shall provide a thirty (30)-day written notice and request to Licensor prior to any planned use of the IP Rights as described in this section and the failure on the part of Licensor to respond within that thirty (30)-day period shall be presumed to operate as a rejection of such request.

B. No Sublicensing. Licensor does not grant to Licensee, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting to Licensee, the right to license, sublicense or authorize others to use the IP Rights or the Marks other than the right for Licensee to authorize service providers the right to use and copy the IP Rights solely in connection with providing services to Licensee in connection with Licensee’s products and services (and in connection with Approved Derivative Works and Regulatory Filings).

C. Licensor’s Grant of Rights to Third Parties. During the Term of this Agreement, Licensor shall retain the sole and absolute right to grant other non-exclusive licenses for some or all of the IP Rights, including the Marks, to other entities not affiliated with Licensee, and Licensor shall retain ownership of the IP Rights.

B. Licensor’s Policies and Standards. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor has provided, or will make available, to Licensee certain policies and standards necessary for the preservation of the goodwill and reputation associated with the Marks and the value associated with the IP Rights. (Such collection of policies and standards as may be amended or supplemented from time to time by Licensor is commonly referred to as the ‘CNL Brand Manual’, a copy of which has been provided to Licensee.) For the purposes of this Agreement, the relevant policies and standards as contained in the CNL Brand Manual, together with any subsequent policies and standards adopted or amended in accordance with this Section IV (B) are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Policies & Standards”. Furthermore, Licensee acknowledges that Licensor shall have the right from time to time in its reasonable discretion, to adopt new Policies & Standards or amend any existing Policies & Standards, which Licensee shall follow and adhere to in exercise of rights in the IP Rights hereunder. Licensor shall give written notice to Licensee of any subsequently adopted or amended Policies & Standards. Any such newly adopted or amended Policies & Standards shall take effect with respect to this Agreement ninety (90) days from receipt by Licensee.

C. Licensee’s Compliance with Policies & Standards. CCT shall at all times during the Term of this Agreement comply with, and shall cause each of its Controlled Affiliates as well as any agents, contractors or consultants providing promotional, marketing, or regulatory filing services to Licensee, at all times during the Term of this Agreement to comply with the Policies & Standards.

Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that Licensee shall be responsible for any violation of or failure to comply with the Policies & Standards by any employee, manager, executive, director, contractor or other agent of Licensee, including, but not limited to, any failure to comply with the Policies & Standards when creating or having created any Regulatory Filings or Approved Derivative Works. Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that Licensee shall not be responsible for any violation of or failure to comply with the Policies & Standards in works created by any employee, manager, executive, director, contractor, or Affiliate of Licensor (but not to include CNL Fund Advisors Company (the “CCT Advisor”)).

D. Licensee’s Policies. Licensee shall have the right to adopt additional policies and standards (“Licensee’s Policies”) for the Approved Derivative Works so long as same do not conflict with or contradict the Policies & Standards or Licensor’s Retainer Rights. If any of Licensee’s Policies conflict with or contradict any of the Policies & Standards or Licensor’s Retained Rights, Licensee shall promptly discontinue use of such conflicting Licensee’s Policies to the extent that such Licensee’s Policies are in conflict with the Policies & Standards or Licensor’s Retained Rights.

E. Modifications to IP Rights. Except as set forth in the Policies & Standards, Licensee shall not make or use any modification to any of the IP Rights without the prior express written approval of Licensor, which approval may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

F. Limitations on Licensee’s Use. Licensee will use the Marks and other IP Rights, Approved Derivative Works and Regulatory Filings, solely in connection with the promotion of Licensee’s relationship with Licensor, in Licensee’s websites, advertising, promotional and other materials relating to Licensee’s products and services. Such use of the Marks and other IP Rights by Licensee shall also be consistent with and shall not be used beyond the scope of the services described on Appendix A (collectively, the “Services”). Licensee shall add Licensor to all mailing lists and survey lists including, without limitation, mass mailings and surveys to stockholders, customers, clients, vendors, and others.

G. Provision of Samples. Licensee will provide Licensor with representative samples of any new materials that use or contain the IP Rights that have been prepared for, in connection with, or related to the promotion, sale, regulatory activities or performance of Licensee’s products and services at least ten (10) business days prior to any filing, distribution or use of such new materials should same have been prepared or made by Licensee or a third-party agent or contractor retained by Licensee (collectively, “3rd Party Works”). Licensor shall have the right to review and in its reasonable discretion approve or reject the use or display of the IP Rights as may appear in such 3rd Party Works. Materials to be used for, in connection with or related to the promotion, sale, regulatory activities or performance of Licensee’s products and services prepared by an affiliate of Licensor (such affiliate not to include the CCT Advisor) shall be presumed to be compliant with the Policies & Standards. For materials prepared as Regulatory Filings, Licensee shall submit to Licensor representative samples of such Regulatory Filings and Licensor shall have the right to review and in its reasonable discretion approve or reject such use of only the IP Rights as may be contained or used in the Regulatory Filings. Any item submitted for approval shall be reviewed and either approved or disapproved within ten (10) business days after submission to Licensor. Once approved, no further approval from Licensor shall be required for extended promotions, advertising or marketing campaigns using such approved materials; provided however, that Licensor must approve any changes to the IP Rights as used in the Regulatory Filings. If Licensee has not received approval or disapproval from Licensor, and Licensee has contacted the Licensor by telephone, email, or writing to make arrangements for the review of the items, the submission shall then be deemed approved.

A. Ownership. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the IP Rights including, without limitation, the Marks and the goodwill associated with the IP Rights, are owned by Licensor and are the exclusive property of Licensor and can be used only with Licensor’s prior written consent as granted through this License. Licensee will retain the goodwill in its business apart from the goodwill associated with the use of the Marks and IP Rights. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that upon the termination of this Agreement all of Licensee’s rights in the IP Rights shall cease, and Licensee shall have no interest in or right to use any of the IP Rights, including, but not limited to, the Policies & Standards, proprietary management systems or any trade secrets which may have come into the possession of Licensee. Licensee will not in any manner represent that it owns the IP Rights or any part or component of the IP Rights, and Licensee hereby acknowledges that its use of the IP Rights shall not create any right, title, or interest in or to the IP Rights in favor of Licensee, but that all use by Licensee of the IP Rights shall inure to the sole benefit of and be on behalf of Licensor. Should Licensee use any part or component of the IP Rights or create any expansion of the Services in violation of this Agreement, Licensee shall execute and deliver to Licensor an assignment of all rights Licensee might have created in any work, trademark, or other intellectual property right using or including the IP Rights together with any goodwill associated with the IP Rights for such expansion of the Services. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that Licensee will not at any time do, or cause to be done, any act or thing to contest, oppose, seek to invalidate or in any way impair or intend to impair the validity or enforceability of any applications, registrations, or rights in or for the IP Rights or any of Licensor’s exclusive right, title and interest in the IP Rights.

B. Registrations; Corporate Names. Licensee will not register or apply to register any corporate name, trademark, copyright, design registrations or any other proprietary rights, in any country, state or other jurisdiction utilizing any part or component of the IP Rights, except that Licensee may register the copyright in the Approved Derivative Works or the Regulatory Filings that contain IP Rights subject to the retained ownership by Licensor of the Marks and IP Rights contained in such Approved Derivative Works or Regulatory Filings and Retained Rights and all restrictions on such use of the Marks and IP Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may not use the designation “CNL” or any other IP Rights in Licensee’s corporate name or as an identifier of Licensee or in any manner that may cause the general public to identify Licensee with Licensor, except to communicate, as necessary or appropriate, that CCT Advisor and CNL Securities Corp. are service providers to Licensee.

C. Infringement. During the Term of the License, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing of any suspected or actual infringement of the Marks as may come to Licensee’s attention. In the event of any suspected or actual infringement, Licensor has the right, but not the duty, to take any legal action or other measures to protect the Marks against such infringement. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor in any such actions or measures at Licensor’s request and sole expense. In any action brought by Licensor: (a) Licensor shall retain full control thereof, including the settlement or other disposition of the action; and (b) any recovery shall be solely for the account of Licensor.

 

VI. TERM, TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION

A. Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section VI, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the termination of that certain Advisory Agreement dated              between CCT and the CCT Advisor.

B. Remedies Upon Breach. Termination of this Agreement shall not excuse any failure to perform or breach of this Agreement by Licensee or Licensor, and Licensor and Licensee shall each be entitled to all remedies under this Agreement and at law or equity with respect to such failure or breach.

C. Transition Period. Following notice of the termination of the Advisory Agreement or of this Agreement, Licensee shall have no greater that one hundred twenty (120) days (such time period being the “Transition Period”) to cease use of the IP Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during the Transition Period, Licensee may continue using the existing materials containing the IP Rights subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Following the Transition Period, Licensee shall immediately and permanently discontinue all use of the IP Rights, including, without limitation, the Marks and further will remove all uses of CNL Names, IP Rights, and Marks from the Approved Derivative Works and any new or future Regulatory Filings; the Policies & Standards; Licensor’s trade secrets; refrain from using any other mark, name, design, or any other designation confusingly similar to the designation “CNL”, or any of the other IP Rights.

VII. BREACH AND REMEDIES

A. Notice and Cure Period. If Licensor in good faith determines that 3rd Party Works prepared for or by Licensee, or the use of IP Rights found in any such works that were not created by any employee, manager, executive, director, contractor, or Affiliate (but not to include the CCT Advisor) or Licensor and that fail to comply with any of the Policies & Standards or any other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor shall give Licensee written notice of such failure and demand that Licensee, within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice and demand, correct the failure or cause the failure to be corrected and submit evidence of such correction satisfactory to Licensor.

B. Injunctive Relief. Licensor and CCT acknowledge and agree that a breach or threatened breach by CCT, its Controlled Affiliates, or any of their Representatives of any of the terms or conditions contained in Section I, III, IV, V, VIII or X of this Agreement, will cause immediate and irreparable harm and damage to the other parties, and that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate the other party for such breach. Accordingly, Licensor and CCT agree that Licensor and Licensee shall, in addition to any other remedies available to them at law or in equity, be entitled, without posting bond or other security, to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any breach or threatened breach of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by CCT, its Controlled Affiliates or Licensor, its Affiliates; or Representatives of any party.
