Description

A merchandise license agreement describes the terms through which the owner of intellectual property, notably in the form of a trademark, service mark or copyright, grants a party, called the licensee, the right to use the property for distribution, marketing, and sale. These agreements can vary in length and complexity and can be as broad or as limiting as the owner of the property desires. Among the issues addressed in a merchandising license agreement are the types of rights allowed, what products the license covers, the duration of the agreement, and compensation and payment terms. In most cases, the owner of the merchandise, identified in an agreement as the licensor, receives an advance payment at the time the agreement is signed and royalty payments based on a percentage of merchandise sales throughout the period the agreement is in effect. The agreement also addresses the obligations of the licensee. In addition to payment terms, these can include responsibility to make a good faith effort to sell the licensed products. Should the licensee fail to meet their obligations, the licensor has the right to terminate the agreement. This action is typically avoided at all costs, however, since the termination of a merchandising license agreement can result in a loss of income and missed opportunities to capitalize on the property by the licensor, and the waste of an often-substantial investment by the licensee.

A merchandising agreement is a legal contract between two parties in which the first party agrees to sell specific goods or services to the second party. In this case, "merchandise" refers not only to physical items but also intangible products such as intellectual property.

Types of licensing agreement The unique feature of this type of agreement is that even the licensor is excluded to use or exploit the licensed property during the term of the agreement. Copyright, trademark and patent licenses are the best examples of an exclusive license agreement.

To expand trademark rights, the owner can register the trademark with either the state or federal government, or both. State registration is typically done through the secretary of state's office and provides the owner with the right to exclusive use of the trademark throughout the state.

Licensing agreements are found in many different industries. An example of a licensing agreement is a contract between the copyright holders of software and another company, allowing the latter to use the computer software for their daily business operations.

A licensing agreement allows one party (the licensee) to use and/or earn revenue from the property of the owner (the licensor). Licensing agreements generate revenues, called royalties, earned by a company for allowing its copyrighted or patented material to be used by another company.

Practitioners and licensing executives often refer to three basic types of voluntary licenses: non-exclusive, sole, and exclusive. A non-exclusive licence allows the licensor to retain the right to use the licensed property and the right to grant additional licenses to third parties.
