Legal subjectivity:
The difference between franchise operation and licensed operation is:
1. The subject qualifications are different. The franchise entity is an enterprise, and the licensing entity is an enterprise and an individual;
2. The licensing resources are different. Business resources, business models, and distribution systems can be used in franchise operations, while only trademarks, patents, and proprietary technologies can be used in licensed operations;
3. Fees are paid differently. Franchising involves an initial franchise fee, royalties or management fees, deposits, and advertising and promotion fees, while licensing involves licensing royalties;
4. The business plans are different. Franchising should have a thorough business plan, and licensing only requires a trademark or patent licensing contract.
