Licensing is the process of granting a contractual right to use protected entity known as property (It could be a name, likeness, logo, graphic, saying, signature, character or a combination of several of these elements) owned or controlled by a third party for a product or service in return for consideration (Royalty).
It is generally in the form of a contractual agreement between the property owner or agent (LICENSOR) and the renter of the rights, usually a manufacturer (LICENSEE).
We are selling intellectual properties (images, words, designs, etc.), which manufacturers can use to produce salable goods.
