licensee
A licensee is someone who has been granted permission by the owner of a property or intellectual property to use it under specific conditions. This arrangement allows the licensee to legally operate, access, or make use of the property or rights without owning them outright. For example, a company may license patented technology to produce products, or a person might be licensed to drive a car. The licensee must follow the rules set by the license issuer, and the license typically has a set scope, duration, and purpose, ensuring both parties understand their rights and responsibilities.
