Unless the parties have agreed in their contract that it shall be dissolved in the case of either party's insolvency, the license agreement remains valid following the opening of insolvency proceedings. During the course of insolvency proceedings, however, the bankruptcy administration has a right of choice: it can (i) fulfil the contract in real terms instead of the insolvent party, (ii) accept the conversion into a monetary claim or (iii) terminate the contract based on the provisions in the IP license agreement.
In practice, however, the bankruptcy administration often neither terminates the contract nor explicitly affirms it. In this case, license agreements remain valid. The solvent party may assert its claims as a normal bankruptcy claim, but only up to the next termination date. As a result, this means that in the event of the bankruptcy administration's failure to act, the same applies as if the license agreement had been (duly) terminated.
