Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Swedish term or phrase: Upplåtelseavtal
I am translating a legal document between two telecoms companies, in which one wants to hire frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band for running telecoms services. The title of the document is simply "Upplåtelseavtal".
So something like a grant/concession/lease agreement/contract. But which combination of those words? Grant agreement? Concession contract? Lease agreement? Is there a standard legal term?
My own gut feel is for "lease agreement", but I would very much like to hear the opinions of you experts out there.

Explanation:
According to my dictionary and 2,590,000 hits on Google lease agreement would appear to be the correct term.

This question brought out some impressive heavyweight answers, and I'm grateful to everyone for some persuasive and well-documented suggestions.
In the end I went for "leasing agreement", for two reasons -- there were plenty of Internet references to that phrase in telecommunications contexts, particularly leasing frequencies from another operator. In that context, "lease" seemed to fit better than concession or usufruct, because it was not a question of running or marketing a product, but simply of having the temporary use of a few extra GHz frequencies.
The second reason was consistency - as well as the noun Upplåtelseavtal, the text frequently used the verb Upplåta, and "to lease" fitted that better than the alternatives, e.g. to concede. But so does "license", so I have entered "leasing/licensing agreement" into the glossary.
I do think sometimes it's a pity that ProZ allows only one winner, when other people deserve consolation prizes for efforts that are also very helpful. This answer was the closest. But many thanks to everyone.

neutral  Madeleine MacRae Klintebo: my guess is that most of those hits relate to property as do your refs. no. 1,3 and 4. Your ref. 4 is about the US-UK lend-lease agreement in 1942.

(Radio Frequencies) Licensing Agreement


Explanation:
Other permutations and combinations:

1. Licence (agreement) of accommodation is a lodger's/licensee arrangement and a trick to exclude UK Rent Acts protection for a short-term tenant or long-term lessee;
2. Loan of 'choses in possession' = tangibles can be a bailment of chattels (pluralises too, contrary to ProZ.Commer's belief) like a motor car left with a garage for repairs - the classic case;
3. Assignment of 'choses in action' = intangibles like copyright, patents or co. shares that are actually 'transferred' by entry in the reg. of co. members (not called shareholders in GB);
4. CONVEYANCE of real estate - in the law of REAL PROPERTY that I have studied, but some legally challenged translators and interpreters tell me 'doesn't exist'.

'... At the same time, this *licensing agreement* validates our technology for radio ... and sales of broadcast studio systems, *radio frequency* (“RF”) transmitters ...'

usufruct agreement


Explanation:
My gut feeling is that lease is not what is used.
The agreement is not so much about payment but the concession of a right, so George's suggestion is good, but to me a bit too 'governmental' or tainted with the meaning of 'conceding'
I think it should be more cooly businesslike, just regulating the fact that B is allowed to use something granted to A. Money is secondary.
I only hope the (to me unusual) word 'usufruct' for 'nyttjande' is correct
