Licensing

Sometimes, the best way to acquire technology is to “license in” the technology or “know-how” from its owner. Significant royalties or other value can come from “licensing out” or cross-licenses. Many joint ventures and start-up organizations successfully employ this strategy. Sometimes, the settlement of litigation is accomplished with licenses. Other times, litigation is needed when a property owner is willing to license, but a user has failed to pay.
