Effective Jul 1, 20002000, cc. 101, 996.
- (a) In this section, "enable use" means to grant a contractual right or permission with respect to information or informational rights and to complete the acts, if any, required under the agreement to make the information available to the licensee.
- (b) A licensor shall enable use by the licensee pursuant to the contract. The following rules apply to enabling use:
- (1) If nothing other than the grant of a contractual right or permission is required to enable use, the licensor enables use when the contract becomes enforceable.
- (2) If the agreement requires delivery of a copy, enabling use occurs when the copy is tendered to the licensee.
- (3) If the agreement requires delivery of a copy and steps authorizing the licensee's use, enabling use occurs when the last of those acts occurs.
- (4) In an access contract, enabling use requires tendering all access material necessary to enable the agreed access.
- (5) If the agreement requires a transfer of ownership of informational rights and a filing or recording is allowed by law to establish priority of the transferred ownership, on request by the licensee, the licensor shall execute and tender a record appropriate for that purpose.
