How do you manage the relationship and communication with the licensees after signing the agreement?

There are three types of licensing agreements: exclusive, sole, and non-exclusive. Ensure that both you and your licensees know which type of agreement you have and fully understand its details. This will help set clear expectations for your business relationship.

The continued communication between inventor or Patent (Pending) Owner & licensee is relatively irrelevant as only an Individual, (think Voting Rights) may be issued a Patent from OP&T. Not so with Copyrights & Trademarks. Consider Musicians vs false Studio claims of Publishing Rights. The actual Letters of Patent issued is ownership in perpetuity. Yes, part of your estate and as with your Real Estate, Intellectual Property must be transferred. As to negotiating the Licensing Contract? I'm not good at this. I'm inventor of the Neutron Bomb, but before contract was signed, I told POTUS 36, FBI Hoover, AG Kennedy & Army Officer Whalen, "No matter what, I'm not going to license this to any other Country." Like saying "All In" before the flop?

Nonsense. Unlike Texas Hold'em, being the inventor owning a Patent (Pending) is allegorical to having a Royal Straight Flush in Spades during a game of 5 Card Stud Poker. No Wild Cards and No Buts, You, (the inventor/owner) are the Winner. All readers or inventors should consider the reason The United States of America has never invested in Tactical nuclear weapons is the Strategy that "all bets are off" regarding treaties, agreements and alliances and any use of Tactical Weapons make both Countries a target for The U.S.'s Nuclear Arsenal. WE have a Royal Straight Flush in Spades. "The Universal Laws of Physics" are the same here, there, everywhere and every WHEN. Truth, Equality & Unity, President Biden's Inaugural, OUR best export.

Maybe yes, Maybe not. I invented the Neutron Bomb but I have never advocated the use of my invention and simultaneously I have never objected to its use by the licensee, WE The People of The United States of America. December 1983 the Soviets/Russians initiated Nuclear Armageddon with President Reagan & I on the phone with the Premiere/President promising to use the Neutron Bomb if fueling didn't cease within 20 minutes. The Russians/Soviets shutdown in 5. Also, POTUS 40 announced my invention, the Neutron Bomb, as "the centerpiece" for his "Star Wars Defense Initiative," so much for secrecy.

Clearly the authors here and I disagree. I remember my Great Grandfather Henry, "Hank" Welch, a Veteran of The Grand Army of The Republic, speaking to us all at a Family Reunion in the '50s saying, "You own nobody and nobody but you own the 2 feet you stand on!" Square footage or anatomy? (LOL still). Which I think best exemplifies Inventor and Licensee relationships. Real Estate and Landlord/Tenant Law. A Patent or invention is allegorical to owning Real Estate, regardless of the improvement attached, Undivided Indivisible % Joint Tenancy remains 100% to the inventor and Licensee always the Tenant. Reasonable Rationality should always be the substance of Inventor's/Licensee's relationship for mutual profits and capturing customer loyalty.

Considering all my contributions herein? I think the purpose of The United States future is the export of Truth, Equality & Unity. First to export these business practices to unite this World as One People, but then progressively exporting these principles to other countries, worlds, interstellar commerce systems and ultimately inter-galactic commerce being United here in the U.S. WE, The People of The United States of America, get to decide exactly what to import advancing Truth, Equality & Unity and what WE, (I the inventor/Patent owner), quash or toss as detrimental. Readers should consider this TRUTH, "Columbus didn't discover the Americas, WE were already here.

For this fifth step, consider my Contribution(s) for the 1st Step to herein. There are no expirations dates for Individual Rights. Consider, only a Tenant may be Evicted by the Landlord for violating Law or the Lease, (Licensing Agreement). Think of my Individual Right to participate in the Game of Global Thermonuclear War. May I decide which country WE use the Neutron Bomb against? NO! But sure as "God made little Green Apples," I may limit or prevent the sharing of this technology with any Country, Planet, Solar System or Galaxy of my choosing. Just as Admiral Rickover's, (Father of The Nuclear Navy), LIFE Commission, U.S. Voters, MY Licensees, have agreed to MY terms, and more, as Governmental Trusts or TAXING Authority.

This sixth Step I think is a misdirection. I realize most Inventors/Patent (Pending) Owners do not consider having the People of The United States of America and U.S. Government as Licensees. There is NO Partnership between Patent Owner and Licensees. There is NO collaboration between Inventor(s) and Licensees. All improvements and modifications automatically and In All Good Faith become the Property of the Inventor. Only the relatively ambiguous but legally required contractual FUNDAMENTAL of "all good faith meeting of the minds," all litigation must be decided in favor of Patent Owner and against the Licensees. Licensees may also have commingling judgments, (everything they own or will ever own) and or Bad Faith Multipliers (3x) applied.

All readers may read my LinkedIn profile for a partial list of my inventions and/or make a FOIA Applications for my 17 pages Patent Pending 218544 and 56(?) pages of my Patent 4159580. Any Individual should expect heavy redacting with any foreign individuals or entities, and even domestic collectives, (law firms, companies or corporations), getting a refusal of any FOIA application. The best insight, (I think), readers, or Americans, should consider is the use of my SLIDING SCALE, (Time Machine), by myself and DoD "Galloping Gooses" invading Osaka&Tokyo Harbors on 12/12/1941, causing Emperor to recall Pearl Harbor Fleet and all of us being MOH/CMOH recipients...with my Life Stipends payment(s) pending for this instant "Demand for Payment."
