Patent Term Clause Samples

The Patent Term clause defines the duration for which patent rights granted under an agreement will remain in effect. Typically, this clause specifies that the rights last for the full legal term of the relevant patent, which is usually 20 years from the filing date, unless otherwise terminated earlier by law or agreement. By clearly stating the period of enforceability, the clause ensures both parties understand the timeframe during which patent protections and obligations apply, thereby preventing disputes over the expiration or continuation of patent rights.
