Licensing transactions often involve PRC companies as users of certain high technology or other proprietary information or intellectual property rights. Many of these transactions are accomplished through a direct licensing arrangement between the owner of the technology or the owner of the intellectual property rights and the user. Some transactions involve a middle person as the licensee of the head agreement who will sub-licence the intellectual property rights to the user in China.
