(2) An exclusive licensee has, except against the qualified owner, the same rights and remedies in respect of matters occurring after the grant of the exclusive licence as if the licence had been an assignment. (3) An exclusive licensee’s rights and remedies are concurrent with those of the qualified owner. (4) In any proceedings brought by an exclusive licensee, a defendant may avail himself, herself or itself of any defence that would have been available to the defendant if the proceedings had been brought by the qualified owner.
