Hello, I can say that a patent license agreement is a legal contract created to define the terms under which a licensee can make, sell and use the licensor's (or patent owner's) patented invention. This agreement also specifies how royalties will be paid to the licensor/owner of the patent. If you would like a license a patent, then I advise you to contact https://patents.kblit.com/license-patents/ for advice on this issue. I think they can help you there.
