Licensing Business
Aiming for further expansion, many enterprises have been making headway not only by themselves but in cooperation with multiple companies within and outside their field. A licensed business consists of a joint development between the brand or character’s copyright holder and the developer or manufacturer of a specific industry. The former is referred to as the Licensor and the latter as the Licensee.
