What does exclusive sublicensing imply for a partner in a deal?

• A. Rights to multiple partners
• B. Rights solely to a partner
• C. No rights granted
• D. Rights only for digital platforms

Answer: (B)

Exclusive sublicensing means the rights to sublicense are granted to a single partner, and that partner alone can pass those rights to others. In practice, the partner has exclusive control over sublicensing within the defined scope (such as territory, media, or duration), and neither the licensor nor any other party can grant sublicenses in that same scope. That’s why this is the best description: the partner holds rights exclusively. The other ideas describe non-exclusive rights, no rights, or rights limited to a specific platform, which don’t capture the exclusivity aspect.
