Different types of California Grant of Nonexclusive License to Manufacture, Use, and Sell an Invention by Employee to Employer can include: 1. Standard Grant of Nonexclusive License: This type of license agreement provides the basic terms and conditions for the employer to manufacture, use, and sell the invention created by the employee. It outlines the scope of the license, exclusivity, limitations, and any potential royalties or compensation to the employee. 2. Limited Term Grant of Nonexclusive License: In certain cases, a license agreement may be restricted to a specific time period. This allows the employer to utilize the invention for a defined duration, after which the employee may regain full ownership or negotiate a new agreement. 3. Field-Specific Grant of Nonexclusive License: In some situations, the license agreement may be limited to a specific field or industry. This ensures that the employer's rights are only applicable within the designated sector, while granting the employee the opportunity to explore licensing opportunities in other industries. 4.

It grants the employer exclusive rights within a certain industry or field, while still allowing the employee to retain ownership and potentially license the invention to other parties outside the defined sector. 5. Royalty-Based Grant of Nonexclusive License: This form of license agreement stipulates that the employee will receive a percentage of the revenue generated from the employer's use and sale of the invention.
