"The second option is non-exclusive licensing. Authorization is given to multiple commerce associations, each of which can produce and sell. The advantage is broad coverage; the downside is high management costs and the need to monitor for violations."
"The third option is auctioning the usage rights. An auction is organized by the association where various forces bid, and the highest bidder wins. The advantage is transparency and maximizing technological value; the downside is the longer cycle time."
"The fourth option is profit-sharing from cooperation. Sign a long-term cooperation agreement with commerce associations and other forces, sharing profits based on sales. The advantage is stable long-term income; the downside is the need for reliable partners."
Edwin looked at Duke: "Which option do you lean towards?"
Duke was silent for a moment.
"Exclusive licensing." He paused, "But it can be zoned."
Edwin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zoned exclusive licensing?"
