ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause allocates intellectual property rights by preserving user ownership while authorizing Riot Games broad operational rights over user-generated content. The non-exclusive nature permits users to license or use their content elsewhere, while the sublicensable grant enables Riot Games to permit third parties to exercise these rights.
