IP Licensing Strategies

IP licensing strategies involve allowing others to use your intellectual property (such as patents, trademarks, or copyrights) in exchange for fees or royalties. Companies choose different strategies based on their goals—some license widely to generate revenue and expand market reach, while others license selectively to control how their IP is used. Effective licensing balances protecting your rights with gaining new opportunities, managing risks, and maximizing profitability. It’s a strategic way to leverage your creations without fully manufacturing or selling them yourself, often creating mutually beneficial arrangements with other businesses.
