Today, at least 70% of Fortune 100 companies have active licensing programs, compared to only 10% in 1985.

Managed effectively, licensing is a powerful and versatile component of the corporate marketing program.

Increase consumer awareness and preference for your brand worldwide
Enhance the breadth and scope of legal protection for your trademark
Create new markets and business opportunities for the brand without substantial capital investment

As a Licensee, licensing gives you the opportunity to:
Launch new products with instant consumer recognition
Sell a greater volume of products without the high risk of heavy marketing expenditures
Apply the imagery of the trademark to increase the appeal of your product
Gain instant retail enthusiasm and acceptance
Benefit from the licensor's promotional and advertising efforts to support the trademark
