Owners of real estate (real property) enjoy many legal rights including the exclusive use of their property and the right to rent/lease it in exchange for money. Intellectual Property (IP) owners, namely owners of Registered Trademarks, Patents and Copyright have similar rights. They enjoy exclusive use of their property throughout the entire country, as well as the right to lease/rent to others in exchange for royalties. IP owners (Licensors) have a choice of offering Licensees a non-exclusive license or an exclusive License for a particular territory. An exclusive License means that the Licensor is also prohibited for selling confusingly similar products in the Licensed Territory. Sign Cone licensees enjoy an exclusive license to market similar products throughout their territory.
IS THIS A FRANCHISE?
No - this is an opportunity to start a business marketing similar products in your exclusive Territory and having legal protection against any possible infringers. In event of infringement, courts almost exclusively side with owners of Registered IP. There is no red tape or franchise fees to worry about and Licensees run their business as they see fit. Licensees always keep 100% of profits minus a very small royalty that commences after 1 free year. This is all made possible by a License Agreement that outlines the all the details.
HOW LARGE ARE THE TERRITORIES?
While available, a Territory is an entire U.S.A. state. Will consider breaking down the most populous states into well-defined smaller territories if there is demand.
HOW MUCH ARE ROYALTIES?
After a free year, Licensees pay a royalty of .02 cents per unit manufactured or sold, whatever comes first.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER FEES?
Yes, there is a one-time License fee of $500.00 to secure your state-wide territory. Licenses are assignable, meaning that they can be sold to another party at any time and for any amount.
GROUP PURCHASING POWER
Plans are underway to form a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) that will enable Licensees to purchase Licensed Product at bulk rates. Licensees can choose to become part of the GPO or to purchase product from their own cardboard converter.
LARGE UNTAPPED NICHE MARKET
Every city in the country has a large and untapped niche market to exploit. Having exclusive rights to market Sign Cone enables Licensees to slowly build their business from scratch.
MADE IN THE U.S.A. PROVISION
For American patriots who are sick and tired of seeing jobs going overseas, Sign Cone has a "made in the U.S.A." provision that ensures that all manufacturing of Sign Cone products is done in the U.S.A. by parties domiciled in the U.S.A. In Canada, the exact same thing is happening. That is why Canadian Licensees are domiciled in Canada.
CUT AND PRINT GIZMO
Licensees will soon have the option of being able to manufacture Sign Cone finished product at home. Plans are underway to produce a portable machine that will turn 8' x 4' cardboard blanks into Sign Cone finished product . Not only does the (patent pending) machine cut and crease the corrugated blanks, but can also print an unlimited array of slogans, warnings and messages. This makes it ideal for making small customized orders of product that can be done in your basement or garage.
BRAND RECOGNITION
Licensees enjoy instant brand recognition, thanks to the Registered Trademark "Sign Cone and Design".
QUALITY CONTROL
To ensure that consumers enjoy a great product that they can trust, a quality control plan is outlined in the License Agreement.
WORK FROM HOME OPPORTUNITY
Marketing Sign Cone is ideal for operating as a home based business. A place to store product and a small home office are necessary.
If you believe that Sign Cone is a good fit, please CONTACT us to check on territory availability. Once the License Agreement has been completed, Licensees will receive a half-dozen samples along with a hard copy of the die. Cardboard converters are very concerned about duplicating a design that interferes with someone else's IP. As a result, having proof of your License is all that is needed.
