This document discusses license agreements between businesses. It defines a license agreement as a contractual arrangement where a licensor allows a licensee to use its technology, patents, trademarks, or intellectual property in exchange for a fee. License agreements benefit licensors by generating revenue without direct involvement and benefit licensees by allowing access to new markets or credibility. Key elements of a license agreement include financial terms, timeframe, quality control issues, intellectual property ownership, and dispute resolution procedures. Proper legal advice is important when drafting or entering into a license agreement.

9.  Licensors (sellers) Point of View:
1. Lack capital, management resources,
market knowledge to exploit directly by export or FDI,
so license to a local firm
2. Use licensing as a way to test the market (but is this
unfair to local licensee?)
3. We can get money for an invention or technology
which is outside our core competence
4. Local market may be too small -problem
of economies of scale.

10. 5. Avoid or minimize political factors/risks-
restrictions on imports-restrictions on FDI-require
majority foreign ownership-high risk of
nationalization
6. Possible high rate of obsolescence / short
product life cycle for new technology maximize
scope for exploitation

11. 1. Increasing its brand presence at retail or
distribution outlet
2. Creating further brand awareness to support its
core products or services
3. Supporting and enhancing its core values
by associations with the licensed products or
services (e.g. association with a healthy food or
with a cutting edge mode of fashion).

12. 4.Entering new markets (consumer or
geographical) which were unfeasible with it’s own
resources or capabilities.
5.Generating new revenue streams, often
with little involvement or additional financial or
other resource implications

13. 1. Transferring the values and consumer favor
towards the property to the licensed product or
service
2. Providing added value and differentiation from
competitive offerings
3. Providing additional marketing support or
momentum from the core property’s activity
provided by the licensor

14. 4. Appealing to new target markets who have not
historically been interested in a licensee’s product
or service
5. Giving credibility for moving into new market
sectors through product extension
6. Gaining additional retail space and favor.

15. 1.Covers the financial arrangement
between two parties.
2.Establishes the time frame of the deal.
3.Address the issue of quality.
4.Which party maintains control of copyrights,
Patents, or trademarks
5.Specify how disputes will be resolved in which
Court.

17.  The law around licensing is fact specific,
complex, and sometimes contradictory.
 License agreement should always be done with
the mutual consent of both licensor and
licensee.
 Benefits for acquiring and giving license should
be first taken into consideration.
 So one needs to have a legal advisory before
issuing and before attaining a license
agreement .
