EEI offers three (3) types of non-exclusive and exclusive licensing agreements:
1) Wholesale/OEM
2) Retail Distributor
(3) Retail Formal.
Wholesale/OEM license agreements are designed to accommodate companies with sophisticated product development and volume manufacturing capabilities, a reputation for producing high quality products, but no retail market presence (e.g., OEMs).
Retail Distributor license agreements are designed for companies with a market presence in one or more markets, product installation and customer support capabilities, but without the engineering/product development and manufacturing capabilities to develop its own products. Distributor licensees will be provided access to Wholesale/OEM licensees for product arrangements.
Retail Formal license agreements are designed for companies with high-quality reputations, complete product development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, and product support capabilities, and a presence in one or more market sectors.
