During the webinar, you’ll learn ten tips you should keep in mind when negotiating a licensing agreement (Andrew provided this list on his blog, detailed below).
- The license agreement must be a win-win for both sides, or it will not work.
- The more you don’t need to do the deal, the more leverage you have when negotiating it.
- If your sales channel is the Internet, you have global rights.
- Givers get; if you give exclusivity, you should get a higher royalty.
- Don’t enter into a license without an exit strategy.
- There is no one magic royalty number, whatever the deal.
- Set a royalty by looking at what licensees are paying in comparable deals.
- The license term should allow the licensee a reasonable time to recoup its investment in the deal.
- Negotiate with respect to build trust.
- Take your time so that the license agreement creates a long-term, mutually-beneficial relationship.
