Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023

Section 71 – Secured creditor’s right to grant license over intellectual property

313.A licence of intellectual property is effectively a lease of that type of property (although it is not necessarily exclusive), and this section has therefore a similar purpose and effect for such property as section 70 does for property that can be leased – see paragraphs 311 and 312 of these Notes. However, the right to grant a licence over intellectual property only applies to the extent that the provider themselves would be entitled to do so.
