A Perpetual Copyright Licence is used when a copyright owner wishes to grant permanent, ongoing rights to use their intellectual property while retaining ownership. Under English and Welsh law, this document establishes the permanent relationship between the licensor and licensee, detailing usage rights, restrictions, and commercial terms. It's particularly useful for situations requiring long-term certainty of rights, such as software implementations, publishing arrangements, or media usage rights. The agreement provides security for the licensee while protecting the licensor's underlying ownership rights.
