Licensing Organizations

Licensing organizations are entities that manage the rights to use intellectual property, such as music, art, or trademarks. They help creators protect their work and ensure they receive payment when it is used by others. For instance, when a song is played on the radio, the licensing organization makes sure the songwriter earns royalties. These organizations facilitate agreements, monitor usage, and collect fees on behalf of the creators, allowing businesses and individuals to legally use creative works while supporting the artists financially. In essence, they bridge the gap between creators and users of intellectual property.
