How do you license an art design or pattern?

• Answer:

  You must first patent your design. Look for a patent office. Make sure you compare prices. Here in Brazil some of them charge astronomical figures. Patenting your design, idea or product directly with the US Intellectual Protection Institute, organization or whatever will definately be cheaper and shouldn not be difficult to do. After that, you contact your potential client, If they are interested in your design or pattern you either sell them the patent or loan it to them for a specified period of time in exchange for a sum of money. You can also negotiate a percentage of sales as a means of payment for your intellectual design.
