Q: How would I go about getting a licnese from NOWHERE CO. LTD
I want to use an iteration of the character "Baby Milo" from bathing ape, but I don't know how I could get in contact with somebody for a license to use the character. I am a small part-time creator, and I want to use to discuss what the percentages and fees would be if I were to get a commercial license for the character.
A: First search business records in the State where nowhere co. is organized. That will give you the company's registered agent. Then contact the registered agent about getting a license.
A:
To pursue licensing for Baby Milo from BAPE (Nowhere Co., Ltd.), you'll need to start by reaching out to their corporate headquarters in Japan or their international licensing department.
The most direct approach would be to contact them through their official website or send an email to their business inquiries department. You can find their contact information at bape.com. When reaching out, prepare a detailed business proposal that outlines how you plan to use Baby Milo, your expected production volume, target market, and distribution channels. This helps them evaluate your request properly.
Keep in mind that major fashion brands like BAPE often have strict licensing requirements and minimum revenue guarantees that might be challenging for small-scale creators. You might want to consider starting with a smaller licensing agreement or exploring collaboration opportunities that better match your current business scale. If you don't receive a response through official channels, try connecting with BAPE's regional offices or reaching out through professional networking platforms where their licensing managers might be present.
