Frequently Asked Questions
Licensing involves granting permission for the use of intellectual property (IP) to another party. The licensor allows the licensee to utilize trademarks, patents, copyrights, or trade secrets under agreed terms. Licensing agreements outline rights, payments, quality control, and restrictions, benefiting both parties by expanding market reach and accessing valuable IP. Compliance with intellectual property laws is essential. Seek legal advice to ensure a proper licensing arrangement.
Franchise is a business arrangement where the franchisor grants the rights to a franchisee to operate a business using their established brand and business model. The franchisee pays fees and receives ongoing support. Franchise agreements include brand usage, business systems, and training. Regulations under the Franchise Act 1998 protect both parties. Franchising offers entrepreneurs established brands and support, while franchisors expand their business. Compliance with legal requirements ensures a fair and beneficial franchise relationship.
Franchising involves providing a complete business system, support, and ongoing assistance, while licensing typically grants permission to use specific intellectual property (like trademarks or patents) without comprehensive business support or a complete operational system. Franchising often involves a broader array of rights, support, and control compared to licensing arrangements.
