Definition

Licensing in the context of global business is a contractual agreement whereby a company (licensor) allows another company (licensee) to use its intellectual property, brand, or product specifications in exchange for a fee or royalty. This enables companies to expand their brand and products into new markets without directly investing in manufacturing facilities or distribution networks.
