What is Software Escrow?
An instrument designed to protect both parties in a License AgreementWhat is Software Escrow?
A Software Escrow Arrangement is an agreement that protects both parties in a License Agreement. Its purpose is to provide a Licensee with access to a Technology Vendor’s intellectual property in the event that a specific release event agreed upon by the Parties occurs.
This works by having a Technology Vendor deposit their intellectual property with an agent of an escrow account, who will then store it in a secure location. If a release event occurs, the agent will then release the intellectual property to the Licensee.
A Software Escrow Arrangement protects a Technology Vendor’s interests, while permitting a Licensee to maintain their investment in the event that a Technology Vendor is unable to continue its operations.
