For some, owning one’s own business is the essence of the American dream. However, many paths to
owning a business are fraught with financial danger. Starting a new business, or buying an existing
business, is a risky proposition. The amount of investment required is often more than people can afford to
lose, so the failure of a business could result in financial ruin.
There is a solution that can help tremendously: licensing a product or technology from another company,
and using that license to build products or provide services for sale. Under licensing, one business pays a fee
for permission to sell another business’s products. This allows new business owners to avoid many common
expenses, such as research and development, developing intellectual property protection, legal expenses, etc.
By licensing an established product or service that consumers already recognize, the licensee can quickly
begin filling a preexisting demand. This can be crucial for small businesses that have neither the money nor
the time to develop a full-fledged marketing campaign for their new products. Many such small businesses
need to earn a profit quickly in order to survive, while a marketing campaign can take a long time to yield
benefits.
Another significant advantage of licensing is the flexibility it provides. For a small company with multiple
licenses, it is usually fairly easy to increase production on products or services that are selling well and to
decrease or abandon poorly selling products or services. Also, when license terms expire, the licensee can
choose whether to keep the license based on whether it has been profitable thus far. If a product is not
profitable, the licensee has only lost the cost of the license, not the much larger cost of developing the
product or service in the first place
The reading and lecture are both about licensing a product or technology from another company. The author argues that starting a new business or buying an existing business is risk preposition. However, the lecturer refutes the claim of the author. He is of the opinion that investment always comes with risky factor so, one cannot point out only starting a new business as well as merger/acquisition is a risky proposition. The lecturer cast doubt on the main point in the reading by providing three reasons.
To begin with, The author stated that By licensing an established product or services that consumer already recognizes, the licensee can quickly begin filing a preexisting demand. Howbeit, the lecturer rebut this by mentioning that as per new reports, licensing a new product is one of the factor of large expenses and less profit reason being a high fixed cost.
Secondly, According to the reading, the significant advantage of licensing is flexibility. Nevertheless, the argument is challenged by the lecturer that Many licensing contracts come with many restrictions that it is impossible for the licensee to cancel the agreement before the expiration of the term. Moreover, he also stated that such restrictions put a burden in such a way that licensee feels very difficult to repay the licensee amount in a periodic way.
Finally, the author posits that licensing a product or technology from another country company is good for small business. Nonetheless, the lecturer believes that such contract had so many restriction clauses that it is very difficult for small business to earn a smarter profit in order to survive. he also stated that such restriction includes that licensee is not allowed to do other businesses other than selling a licensing product say for 20 years.
