Austin, Texas (May 18, 2009) RoyaltyZone today announced that it has entered into an agreement with the Boy Scouts of America to provide a web-based software solution for the BSA’s trademark licensing program. RoyaltyZone automates license agreement compliance processes, enabling intellectual property licensors to share license agreement terms, payment schedules, and compliance tasks with their licensees.
Licensees access a web based system to upload licensed product and sales transaction data, calculate royalties owed, submit royalty reports, view invoices and track payment status. Automating these processes can prevent costly errors and eliminate unintentional misreporting and underpayment of royalties.
“Licensee compliance is critical to the strength of the BSA’s brands,” said David Harkins, Associate Director, Business Development, for the Boy Scouts of America. “RoyaltyZone’s ability to monitor and manage licensee compliance will support our efforts to connect the BSA’s brands with the millions of boys and their families who have been influenced by the organization for nearly a century.”
RoyaltyZone’s Software-as-a-Service business model allows users to access the application from any Internet browser, anywhere in the world, without any hardware or software to install. Licensors and Licensees are able to securely share data and communicate with each other on license agreement compliance issues. A flexible pricing model offers a variety of affordable subscription plans for licensing programs of all sizes.
“We are excited to be working with the licensing team at the Boy Scouts of America” said Lou Ellman, chief executive officer of RoyaltyZone. “RoyaltyZone was created to make license agreement compliance easy to manage for everyone involved in the process. We are pleased to assist in the operation of a licensing program that is home to one of the most consistently-recognized brands in America.”
