Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: Nutzungsberechtigte
A contract between the owner of a plot and another party ("Nutzungsberechtigte"). The use and benefit of a certain device situated on this plot is granted to the latter and the contract regulates this relationship. Neither beneficiary (this is neither a will nor a trust nor does it resemble either)nor licensee (it's more than a license)seem suitable. Can anyone suggest a one or two-word equivalent in English?

grantee of an easement/right of user
Explanation:
Easement: depends if a right of way is also granted.

As you will be aware, the difference between an easement and licence in Eng. land law is a fraught one and is - as far as I know - really unresolved: neighbour A lets neighbour B use A's swimming pool. Does B have 1. an easement i.e. right of way or 2. licence.

'... (5) That the grantee of said easement shall be liable to the board of water commissioners
for any damage to the waterworks system of the City of Saint Paul ...'

Many Thanks. It turned out that this option was the most suitable one for my context in the end. However, I take Margaret's point, and her option may have worked also, but it does not seem possible to award points to more than one person!

agree  writeaway: absolutely if it's about actually being able to walk across the property to get to the device. if it's about the actual use of the device itself, then no.

  -> Yes. The dichotomy must be easement v. licence. Usufruct is a Roman/Scots/Southern US law term and is only vaguely related to the Elizabethan Statute of 'Uses' 1601.
agree  gangels (X): as for the pool, why not 'right/permission of use? [Affirmative and/or appurtenant] easement is 'right of way'. 'Easements in gross' are commercially/government/utility owned.

  -> Agree to to (revocable) right/permission of use. Problem is if A sells his property. What can B claim as? In GB, arguably as a grantee of a registerable legal or 'equitable' (informal) easement coupled with an (unregisterable) licence. Heavy, man, heavy.

licensee


Explanation:
I know you said it isn't a licence, but in English law there is a second meaning, to quote Oxford Dict. of Law: '(in land law) Permission to enter or occupy a person't land for an agreed purpose' (an easement runs with the land, a licence doesn't).
The definition of 'license' (different spelling) in Black's Law Dictionary confirms this usage in U.S. law.
