In the US at least, it would be the patent holder’s choice if they want to license their patent (in most situations, if I understand correctly). When I patent advertising on vegetables, I won’t let anyone license it.

(Sorry, article is in german, it’s about laser-engraved fruits and vegetables. I’ve seen a few in the stores around here… (Switzerland))

They do no have to license it, but they probably will. It will probably be included in cross-licensing agreements.
