Cross Licensing refers to the cross-license agreement between patentees, entered into for purposes of avoiding litigation concerning conflicting patents. It helps preserve the financial incentives for inventors to commercialize their existing innovations and undertake new, potentially patentable research.
An exclusive license grants the licensee singular permission to exploit the intellectual property in question. No other entity, including the party granting the license (the licensor), is allowed to use the intellectual property covered by the license unless specific carve-outs are included in the agreement.
Exclusive license allows a licensor to share intellectual property with a licensee for a specific period of time that usually binds the licensor to not share the property with anyone else.

The term "cross licensing" implies that neither party pays monetary royalties to the other party, although this may be the case. For example, Microsoft and JVC entered into a cross license agreement in January 2008.
