Licensing means renting or leasing of an intangible asset. It is a process of creating and managing contracts between the owner of a brand and a company or individual who wants to use the brand in association with a product, for an agreed period of time, within an agreed territory. Licensing is used by brand owners to extend a trademark or character onto products of a completely different nature. In a brand licensing transaction, an artist, designer, trademark owner or celebrity (the "licensor") grants a license to a manufacturer or retailer (the "licensee") to manufacture and sell articles of merchandise which use the property that is the subject of the license, in exchange for a royalty from sales of those articles of merchandise. Typical licensed properties include artwork, characters, trademarks, celebrity names and likenesses, and book and movie titles. Licensed merchandise may include clothing, greeting cards, toys, games, housewares, jewellery, dinnerware, cosmetics and collectibles.
