Question

A permission agreement between the creator and the party who wants to use the creator's work is called .

• A. Trademark
• B. Copyright
• C. Patent
• D. Licensing

Hint:

A permission given by the owner to use a work is a licence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the term for a permission agreement between the creator of a work and a party who wants to use that work.

Step 2: Recall the concept.
Intellectual property rights protect creations. A licence is the legal permission that an owner gives to another person to use the work under set terms. Open-source and software licences are examples.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Trademark).
A trademark protects a brand name, logo or symbol that identifies goods or services. It is not a permission agreement. Option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Copyright).
Copyright is the legal right of the creator over an original work. It is the right itself, not the agreement that lets someone else use the work. Option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3 (Patent).
A patent gives an inventor the exclusive right to an invention for a fixed period. It protects an invention and is not the permission agreement. Option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Licensing).
Licensing is the permission agreement between the creator and the user. Option 4 is correct.

Final Answer:
The permission agreement is called licensing. This is option 4. \[ \boxed{\text{Licensing}} \]
