licensor
Rights granting party
A licensor is a party that grants a license—permission to use something they own or control.
The term appears most often in legal and business contexts: a licensor might grant rights to intellectual property, software, or a trademark.
The licensor retained ownership while allowing the company to manufacture the product.
The counterpart is the licensee, who receives the license.
