Licensing proprietary technology is a profit opportunity, not a threat

Article Abstract:

Licensing of innovative technologies to other companies, even to rival organizations, offers opportunities for profits for the owner of the technology. The process, which offers a quick return on R&D investments, is also vital for the easy implementation of whatever innovation is discovered for the benefit of industry and society in general. Licensing of technology, far from being a threat, is actually one of the drivers of growth in the western world.
