You've got a well designed product and its selling well but there's only you making it!! So what needs to happen, from a legal point of view, when you want to get it manufactured or are approached by someone who wants to manufacture it for you

This Own It event will cover licensing, royalties and manufacture and will look at the following:

- What is a licence?
- How do you negotiate a licence?
- Can you ask a licensee for an up-front payment?
- How much should the royalty be?
- Should a royalty decrease (or increase) with volume?
- How do you find and choose a licensee?
- What are the dangers of licensing and how can they be minimised?
- What does a licensing agreement look like and what should you look out for?

Please note: You will need a general understanding of Intellectual Property to benefit from this event.
