Description Licensing is a popular method for companies looking to enter foreign markets without significant financial investment. In a licensing agreement, a company (the licensor) allows another company (the licensee) to use its intellectual property (such as a patent, brand name, or trade secret) in exchange for fees or royalties. A well-known example is Disney licensing its characters to various manufacturers around the world.
