One of the easiest and most common ways to exploit the value of a brand name is by licensing. In simple terms, a license is a grant of certain rights by the owner (the licensor) to someone else (the licensee) for a specified period of time. A license is different from an outright transfer of the rights because a license is usually for a limited period of time. At the end of that period the rights return to the licensor. A brand name may be licensed, such that a clothing company may license another company to use the well-known brand name on its clothing or a company like Disney may license the use of its name to promote another product.
This particular form is heavily in favor of licensee.
The District of Columbia Agreement Granting Exclusive License to Sell a Line of Apparel with Reservation of Right by Licensor to Sell Licensed Product is a legal document that establishes a partnership between a licensor and a licensee for the selling of a specific line of apparel within the District of Columbia jurisdiction. This agreement gives the licensee exclusive rights to market, distribute, and sell the licensed product in the designated area, while still granting the licensor the right to sell the same product.

Types of District of Columbia Agreement Granting Exclusive License to Sell a Line of Apparel with Reservation of Right by Licensor to Sell Licensed Product: 1. District of Columbia Apparel License Agreement with Limited Licensor Right to Sell: This type of agreement follows the same structure as described above, but the licensor grants the licensee a limited right to sell the licensed product, specifying certain areas, channels, or distribution restrictions within the District of Columbia. 2. District of Columbia Non-Exclusive License Agreement with Reservation of Right by Licensor to Sell Licensed Product: In this variation, the agreement grants a non-exclusive license to sell the line of apparel in the District of Columbia. The licensor also retains the right to sell the licensed product to other parties simultaneously. 3. District of Columbia Exclusive License Agreement with No Right of Resale for Licensor: This type of agreement provides the licensee with exclusive rights to sell the line of apparel within the District of Columbia, but it restricts the licensor's ability to sell the same licensed product. Therefore, the licensee becomes the sole distributor within the agreed-upon territory. 4. District of Columbia Agreement Granting Exclusive License to Sell a Specific Line of Apparel: In this variation, the agreement grants exclusive rights to sell a specific line of apparel within the District of Columbia. This agreement might be more limited in scope than the others, focusing on a particular product line rather than granting licensees the right to sell a wide range of apparel. 5. District of Columbia Agreement with Exclusive License and Right of First Refusal: This type of agreement grants the licensee an exclusive license to sell the line of apparel, while also providing the licensor with the right of first refusal. This means that if the licensee intends to sell or transfer their license, they must first offer it to the licensor before seeking other potential buyers. Each of these types of agreements varies slightly in the rights and limitations they provide to the licensee and the licensor. It is essential for all parties involved to carefully review and negotiate the terms to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.
