Brand Licenses give Pricing Power

Licensees enjoy many benefits from a strong brand. One of the most important is pricing power.

Whereas strong brands generate a premium and higher margins. And the higher margins – the brand premium – justify the royalties.

That is especially true during times of rising costs like now.
