 ===== Licenses =====
 Licensing is a common form of design outsourcing where a company purchases the license and blueprints to a design and then produces it themselves. They pay a nominal fee for the license, which we call a Signing Fee. And they pay a royalty price for each unit they produce. This type of outsourcing is only the outsourcing of the design phase. It reduces the cost of getting a product on the market. While still leaving the licensee production flexibility and potential profits.

 The Outsource / Purchase system is used to purchase already manufactured units from another company. Purchasing manufactured units is a great way to eliminate design and manufacturing costs. While selling manufactured units is a great way to have guaranteed sales of a model.
