I thought that once a company makes a contract, no other company can make video games besides the company that has the contract. e.g. EA Sports has a contract with NFL and 2K Sports have one with NBA. Neither company can make the competitors games, yet both companies make NHL. Why?

I read something about lockout but not sure what that is. Can anyone help me out with legitimate links?

Thanks
