Your Brand Can Generate Revenue Beyond Your Direct Control

You've built games that people recognize and love. That brand equity represents real value, and companies want to create merchandise featuring your characters and designs. But navigating licensing agreements, protecting your intellectual property, and ensuring quality standards feel complicated and risky. You want to explore these opportunities without losing control of your brand or getting buried in legal and administrative work.

Our licensing management service gives you exactly that freedom. We connect you with reputable merchandise partners, negotiate favorable agreements, monitor product quality, and track every royalty payment. You maintain creative approval while we handle the details that make licensing relationships successful. It's a way to expand your brand's reach and revenue without expanding your daily workload.

Licensing Opportunities Come with Legitimate Concerns

Legal Agreements Feel Intimidating and Confusing

Licensing contracts involve terms you've never encountered before: exclusivity clauses, territory restrictions, minimum guarantees, advance payments, royalty structures, and termination conditions. Each element carries implications you might not fully understand. You worry about agreeing to terms that seem reasonable now but become problematic later. You need someone who speaks this language fluently and negotiates from a position of knowledge and experience.

Quality Control Seems Impossible to Maintain

Once you license your brand to a partner, how do you ensure they maintain quality standards? What if they produce merchandise that doesn't match your aesthetic or fails to meet basic quality expectations? Poorly made products can damage your brand reputation, but monitoring manufacturing across different partners sounds exhausting and complex. You need systems that protect quality without requiring your constant attention.

Royalty Tracking and Payment Verification Raises Doubts

How do you know if licensees are reporting sales accurately? What systems ensure you receive the royalties you're owed? Without proper tracking and verification, you could be leaving money on the table or discovering discrepancies too late to address them. You want transparency and confidence that every dollar earned translates into the royalties specified in your agreements.

Finding Trustworthy Partners Feels Like Guesswork

Not all companies interested in licensing your brand are equally reliable or reputable. How do you evaluate potential partners? What questions should you ask? What red flags should concern you? Making the wrong choice could mean wasted time, potential legal disputes, or damage to your brand. You need guidance from someone who knows this industry and can help you identify partners worth trusting.

Complete Licensing Support That Protects Your Interests

Our licensing management service provides comprehensive oversight of your merchandise licensing relationships. We've spent years building expertise in intellectual property licensing specifically for game brands, learning what protections matter most and what terms create successful partnerships. You'll work with a team that understands both the creative and business sides of licensing.

Agreement Negotiation

We handle all aspects of licensing agreement negotiation, ensuring terms protect your interests while creating attractive opportunities for reputable partners. We review every contract element, explaining implications in plain language so you make informed decisions. Our experience helps us identify favorable royalty structures, appropriate territory rights, and protective termination clauses. We negotiate from knowledge of industry standards, pushing back on unfavorable terms while maintaining positive relationships with potential licensees. You maintain final approval on all agreements, but you'll understand exactly what you're agreeing to and why each term matters.

Quality Monitoring

We implement quality control systems that protect your brand without requiring your daily involvement. Licensees submit product samples for approval before production, ensuring designs and quality meet your standards. We conduct periodic market checks, purchasing products to verify ongoing quality compliance. If issues arise, we address them directly with licensees, following procedures outlined in licensing agreements. You receive regular reports on quality monitoring activities, staying informed without managing the details yourself. Our goal is maintaining brand integrity across all licensed merchandise while keeping the process straightforward for you.

Royalty Tracking

We manage comprehensive royalty tracking systems, monitoring sales reports from all licensees and verifying accuracy. You'll receive clear summaries showing royalties earned from each partner, with details that make sense without requiring accounting expertise. We audit sales reports against agreement terms, identifying discrepancies and addressing them promptly. Our systems flag missing reports or late payments, following up with licensees to ensure compliance. You maintain complete transparency into your licensing revenue without spending hours reviewing reports or chasing payments. We handle the administrative burden so royalty income flows smoothly and predictably.

1

Strategy Development

We begin by understanding your brand, your goals for licensing, and any concerns you have. Together we identify what types of merchandise make sense for licensing versus handling directly. We discuss your comfort level with different partnership structures and establish clear priorities. This foundation shapes our approach to finding partners and negotiating agreements.

We conduct preliminary vetting, evaluating their track record, financial stability, and brand alignment. You'll receive information on potential partners along with our recommendations. We facilitate initial conversations, helping you evaluate whether each opportunity feels right for your brand.

Agreement Structuring

We negotiate licensing agreements that protect your interests while creating workable terms for licensees. You'll review drafts with clear explanations of each section, understanding the protections in place and any commitments required. We handle back-and-forth negotiations, keeping you informed while managing the details. Agreements only move forward when you're comfortable with all terms.

4

Ongoing Management

Once agreements are in place, we manage day-to-day licensing relationships. We review product samples, monitor quality, track royalty reports, and address any issues that arise. You receive regular updates summarizing activities and revenue. We maintain positive relationships with licensees while ensuring compliance with all agreement terms. Your involvement stays at the strategic level rather than operational details.

5

Portfolio Growth

As your brand grows and new opportunities emerge, we help evaluate expansion possibilities. Should you license into new product categories? Are there geographic markets worth exploring? We provide strategic guidance based on market knowledge and your business goals. Your licensing portfolio develops thoughtfully, balancing opportunity with brand protection.
