LICENCING

What is Licensing and why Licensing

Licensing is a commercial partnership that allows a business to use a well-known brand on its products, with the brand owner’s permission.

  • combines strong, recognizable brands with products consumers already want
  • helps increase appeal, boost sales and create additional revenue streams.

A global industry of over $300 billion, connecting some of the world’s most loved brands with fans and consumers through official, innovative and trusted products.

Sports licensing is the process of allowing a brand, team, league, federation or athlete to grant permission to a partner to create and sell official products using its name, logo, image or intellectual property.
For teams, leagues and rights holders, it creates new revenue streams by transforming brand assets into official products. For licensees and manufacturers, it offers access to trusted brands that immediately attract fans and drive sales.
