A licensing agreement is a partnership between an intellectual property rights owner (licensor) and an authorized user (licensee) of the intellectual property rights.  A licensing fee or a royalty fee is usually provided as consideration from the licensee to the licensor. Licensing agreements are mutually beneficial to both the licensor and the licensee.  The licensor reaps profits from its intellectual property portfolio; the licensee benefits from the use of the intellectual property without incurring any of the expenses related to its research and development.
