Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tying clause is a provision in a license agreement that requires the licensee to purchase or use other goods or services from the licensor, apart from the technology being licensed. This is also known as product tying or forced bundling. The purpose of a tying clause is to leverage the licensor's market power in one product or service to gain an advantage in another product or service. Tying clauses can be illegal under antitrust laws if they harm competition or consumers.
