WHAT IS LICENSING?

• You're an artist.  You're a photographer.  You've created a beautiful image.
No one can use your image without your permission.
• The "image licensing" industry exists because of that simple fact.   You own the copyrights to your own images, and no one else can use your images without your permission.

For example, if an ad agency wants to use one of your images for their advertisement on billboard, that company has to contact you and license the image from you.

• What does it mean to "license the image from you"?
• Licensing an image means that you are giving someone permission to use your image to create a certain number of products during a certain time period and, most important, compensate you accordingly.

An image licensing agreement is simply a legal document that answers the following seven questions:

1. Who is licensing the image (i.e. who is the buyer)?
2. Which image is being licensed?
3. What product is the buyer going to create using the image?
4. How many of those products is the buyer allowed to create?
5. During what time period is the buyer allowed to create those products?
6. Where is the buyer allowed to sell those products?
7. How much money is image owner (i.e. the seller) going receive as compensation for agreeing to this license?

TYPES OF LICENSING

• Commercial licensing- In this Artist grants the licensing company a right to use artist’s image for the lifetime or for a particular time period for the purpose of usage in the client’s billboards, advertising, marketing and promotional materials.
• Editorial Licensing- In this Artist grants the licensing company a right to use artist’s image for editorial purpose only. Editorial-licensed images can be used for Blogs, newspapers, magazines, editorials and newsletters.
• Print on demand licensing- In this Artist grants the licensing company a right to reproduce artist’s image for the lifetime or for a particular time period for the purpose of selling it in the form of framed artworks.

WHAT IS AN IMAGE LICENSING COMPANY, AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ONE?

• An image licensing company that takes possession of your images, finds buyers for those images, and negotiates the terms of licensing agreement for you.
• All that you have to do is provide the company with your images, agree in advance to the terms of their licensing and then sit back and collect payments when they successfully license your images for you.
• You're not transferring ownership of your images to the licensing company. You still own the copyrights to all of your images. You're just transferring your images to the licensing company so that they can display them to potential buyers and then, when a buyer makes a purchase, transfer the purchased images to the buyer.
• In India, before internet era image licensing was being operated offline by various small image libraries in the form of physical archives. After India became digital, the technology and infrastructure helps Image licensing industry too to transform from physical archives to servers in the mid-1990s, "stock libraries" were increasingly called "stock agencies.
• With digitization, Mahatta group started in 1918 launched its first stock agency IndiaPicture.in in 2002 and then Microstock agency Indiapicturebudget.com in 2014 for Ad agencies, Newspapers, Publishers, Marketing professionals.
