The Licence Agreement in View of the New Legislation in the Republic of Kosovo

Industrial property rights such as patents, industrial example, the model, and know-how are, first and foremost, dedicated to the economic exploitation.The inventor, who protects his invention by patent, and the holder of other rights of industrial property, has the possibility to use this right economically, in order to enable the legal circulation of the rights from the industrial property, which is realized through the instruments of the law of contract – licence agreement (a contract for the licence).Law on Obligational Relationships adopted in Kosovo in 2012, which is an applicable law in Kosovo until the adoption of the new law, regulates issues related to the license agreement.Patent law, adopted by the Assembly of Kosovo, represents a basis, which will be enriched in the future from the business and judicial practice, and this legal vacuum, regarding the licence, will be completed.These two laws represent the basic legal framework for the licence agreement and as such are treated in this paper.
