A tenancy at sufferance arises where a tenant, having entered under a valid tenancy, holds over without the landlord's assent or dissent. Such a tenant differs from a trespasser in that his original entry was lawful, and from a tenant at will in that his tenancy exists without the landlord's consent. A tenancy at sufferance can arise only by operation of law, and not by express grant, for it assumes an absence of agreement between landlord and tenant.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 640).

CONT

A contract for a lease is an agreement enforceable in law whereby one party agrees to grant and another to take a lease. The expressions "contract for lease" and "agreement for lease" are usually interchangeable, but "contract for lease" is to be preferred as being more definite, agreement frequently meaning one of many stipulations in a contract. A contract for a lease is to be distinguished from a lease, because a lease is actually a conveyance of an estate in land, whereas a contract for a lease is merely an agreement that such a conveyance shall be entered into at a future date.(Woodfall, 27th, p. 132)

It is the formal agreement to transfer a portion of the intellectual property rights from the owner called licensor to another party called licensee. The grant of a licence implies the agreement of the intellectual property owner not to enforce his/her intellectual property rights against the licensee.

CONT

What are the characteristics of the license? An intellectual property license is a contract by which permission is given by the licensor to the licencee to exploit the licensor’s intellectual property.

CONT

For a license of intellectual property to be effective, the following must be satisfied: first, one must have ownership of relevant intellectual property or authority from the owner to grant a license; second, the intellectual property must be protected by law or at least eligible for protection; and third, the license must specify what rights with respect to intellectual property it purports to grant to the licensee and reserve to the licensor.

CONT

Qu'est-ce qu'une licence? Par licence de propriété intellectuelle, on entend un contrat aux termes duquel le donneur de licence autorise le preneur de licence à exploiter sa propriété intellectuelle.

Il est à noter qu'en matière de propriété intellectuelle, le terme «License/licence» peut avoir, dans certains contextes bien spécifiques, les équivalents suivants : concession de licence; contrat de licence ou permis d'utilisation.

A state may grant a right of exclusive use over a part of its territory to another state, retaining sovereignty, but conceding the enjoyment of the liberties of the territorial sovereign. Such a grant may be described as a "lease"... these grants do constitute privileges, and in principle their incidence depends on the consent of the territorial sovereign. In most cases where military and naval bases have been established by agreement the result is more akin to a contractual licence than it is to an interest in land in the English sense.
