sublicense
Granted rights transfer
A sublicense is permission to use rights that the grantor themselves received under license from someone else.
Software companies often sublicense technology they've licensed from other developers.
The verb means to grant such secondary permission: The agreement allows them to sublicense the patent to affiliates.
Sublicensing rights must typically be explicitly granted in the original license.
