WNBA License Application
Below please find a link to the prospective Women’s National Basketball Association (“WNBA”) license application. We appreciate your interest in applying for a WNBA license. NOTE: WNBA Enterprises, LLC. (“Enterprises”) reviews each application submitted for an WNBA license; however, we receive far more applications than we are able to approve.
You should be aware that, as standard license terms, Enterprises requires, among other things, payment of the following: (i) a royalty on the net sales of each licensed article sold; (ii) an annual minimum guarantee and (iii) a merchandise credit to Enterprises for the licensed articles (all of the above in amounts to be determined by Enterprises). Moreover, as a prerequisite to Enterprises consideration of a new licensee, the applicant must have an established means of distribution and a sufficient direct sales force (or number of sales representatives) to actively promote the sale of the licensed articles throughout the authorized territory.
Only fully completed applications, including a signatures and a completed and signed General Inquiry Authorization and Release, will be reviewed. Failure to provide any of the information requested in the application will preclude Enterprises consideration. Please allow a minimum of six (6) weeks from receipt of your completed application for our review.
Enterprises regularly receives numerous licensing requests and suggestions, many of which are very similar to concepts and initiatives that Enterprises has previously developed on its own or that have been proposed by third parties. Accordingly, when submitting your license application, do not include any information nor material (including samples) that you want to keep confidential or that you believe is proprietary or legally protectable. By submitting your license application, you acknowledge and agree that (1) no confidential relationship is established between you and Enterprises, (2) Enterprises shall have the right to use and/or disclose any information or material that you present in connection with your license application freely and without any obligation to you whatsoever, (3) Enterprises use and/or disclosure thereof will not give rise to any claims by you or anyone else against the WNBA, any of its member teams, Enterprises, or any of their respective employees, representatives, agents or affiliates, and (4) you shall be bound by the Application Terms and Conditions attached at the end of the application.
We look forward to receiving your completed application.
