An analysis of Software Company B's business plan revealed that Company B only required a limited number (drives 3, 8, 11 and 15) of the data analysis information which Company A had developed as part of a R&D project which resulted in the development of a total of 31 data analysis drives. Company B had, as is often the case, sought to automatically licence all the assets resulting from the R&D, but this was proved to be unnecessary so Company A only licensed the hard drives which Company B required to provide the service; therefore, Company A was free to licence any other hard drives in the same territory in which Company B was operating. This approach ensures maximum flexibility and potential income from licensing activity.
