FTC Required Disclosure
The FTC now requires bloggers to disclose what they’ve received for free. I was about to say nothing when I remembered that I received a copy of H. Ward Classen’s A Practical Guide to Software Licensing for Licensees and Licensors. It took me so long to read and review that Ward probably regretted even having [...]
Jeff Gordon on Supply Excellence
Justin Fogarty from Supply Excellence e-mailed last week and asked me (and some others as well) about what we thought would be the biggest supply chain risks in a recovery. He was kind enough to think that my response on “Instant Amnesia” warranted a guest post on Supply Excellence. Thanks to Justin for the opportunity! [...]
More on Trust
A few months ago, I wrote that you can’t contract trust – that if you don’t trust someone, the contract isn’t necessarily going to help. D.C.

Released in light of the current global economic condition and Novatus’ desire to address prospective client’s budgetary requirements, the best contract [...]
A Few Licensing Issues with Amazon
Many of the technologies we use every day come with a license agreement of some sort. You might not even realize that it’s so because of where you are in the transaction chain – either as a buyer or as a seller. Content, for instance, is created, licensed/sold, packaged, re-licensed/re-sold, bundled, re-licensed/re-sold, and on and [...]
Writers?
Are there any negotiators, contract professionals or sourcing folks (or anyone else for that matter with a voice on a particular subject) out there who would like the opportunity to write an article to appear here on the Licensinghandbook Blog? I’m looking for a few good guest posts – on topics of virtually anything you [...]
