At least for PI space, they explicitly say they don't. (Of course, this doesn't completely rule out that an implied guarantee exists nevertheless.) > ` Or is that just an implied aspect of the term "lease", > which is not in use these days? Yes, it's a mandatory part of the contract, the leaser cannot abstain from that. You've got some wiggle room with regard to the scope of the contract. But a lease of something that provides no documented value (and the contract explicitly saying so!) will be a very difficult sell to various parties. It borders on breach of trust ("Untreue", embezzlement in extreme cases). The current model of industry self-governance does not seem to suffer from that.
