The steps for making a license agreement are as follows: Download a template for a licensing agreement. Choose your role as the licensor or licensee. Define the license(s) in the agreement. Decide whether the license is exclusive or not. Settle the matter of fees and payment schedule. Add a renewal date and rules.

A license fee is typically a one-off payment, i.e., a fixed amount paid upfront. A royalty fee (royalties), on the other hand, are usage-based payments, i.e., continuous periodic fee payments.

Licensing agreements are commonly used in business and commerce, allowing companies to monetize their intellectual property without investing in production or marketing. For example, a software company may license its product to other businesses, allowing them to use it in exchange for payment.

In most license agreements, royalty rates are defined as a percentage of sales or a payment per unit. The many factors that can affect royalty rates include exclusivity of rights, available alternatives, risks involved, market demand, and innovation levels of the products in question.
