Probably exclusive.

Thanks guys, I had always thought one license per invention. Since I have not dealt with this yet I figured I would come to the team.

Scott, I wanted to do what you are doing, I am having challenges getting new stores and since I make my product, the bigger I get the less able I am to make product. I am being forced to look at licensing as my next step.

How does EN handle the license agreement exclusive or non-exclusive??

I think the best (if not only) chance of obtaining multiple agreements is if you have already assumed the risk and are manufacturing (or have sourced and financed) already. To have a licensee assume any risk with a non-exclusive agreement will be a hard pitch to throw.

I continue to refine the manufacturing so that when large contracts come my way I can fulfill and be profitable. If a licensee comes my direction, the odds that I’m willing to sign an exclusive agreement become less and less. That is only because I’ve assumed the risk.

Although I know I’m not in control of any outcome, I prefer to have the best hand that I can have. That means I need to continually improve my hand and learn how to play the game. One Ace needs to have 4 other cards to have a hand to play. Sometimes you can throw an Ace and win, other times you need to show the entire hand.

It is rare, but it’s possible if the multiple companies operate in distinctly different markets and/or geography.

I believe if the license agreement is nonexclusive then you can give several parties the right to produce and sell your product.
