sublicensee
Downstream rights recipient
A sublicensee is a party who receives rights under a sublicense—a license granted by someone who is themselves a licensee rather than the original rights holder.
The term appears in intellectual property, software, and franchise agreements where the chain of licensing extends beyond two parties: The sublicensee must comply with the original license terms.
