Licensing and franchising are described as?

Licensing and franchising are ways to exploit intellectual property. They involve the IP owner allowing others to use rights such as brands, trademarks, know-how, or a proven business system in exchange for fees or royalties. Franchising, in particular, is a full business format that lets the franchisee operate under the franchisor’s brand and methods with some ongoing support. Importantly, these arrangements do not transfer ownership of the IP or the business itself, and they aren’t about real property or debt financing. They’re about monetizing and expanding through permission to use the IP and operating system.
