IP licensing of formulas

IP licensing of formulas is an arrangement where the owner of a cosmetic formula grants another party the right to use or sell it under defined terms, while retaining ownership. This lets a chemist or lab monetize a proprietary formula across multiple brands, or lets a brand use a formula without buying it outright. License terms set scope, exclusivity, duration, and royalties.
