Classification Detail

This group includes: - permitting, granting or otherwise authorizing the use of intangible produced assets. This covers all rights to exploit these intangible assets, such as licensing to third parties; reproducing and publishing software, books, etc.; using patented designs in production processes to produce new goods and so on. Limited end user licenses, which are sold as part of a product (e.g. packaged software, books) are not included here. Note: Granting the right to use non-produced assets is generally excluded, as this does not constitute a service within the System of National Accounts (SNA). However, granting the right to use patented entities, trademarks and franchises is, by exception, considered a service in the SNA and therefore included here. This group does not include: - licence fees as integral part of consumer goods (books, records, software), see corresponding subclass in sections 0-4 - patent, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property rights consultancy services, cf. 82130 - preparation, drafting and certification services concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, cf. 82130 - legal services related to drawing up or certification of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, cf. 82130 - management services for copyrights and their revenues, cf. 85990 - management services for rights to industrial property (patents, licences, trademarks, franchises etc.), cf. 85990 - management services for motion picture rights, cf. 96141 - management services for artistic rights, cf. 96290
