Franklin,
Because Ballstars is a proprietary process, with proprietary materials, there are no competitors.
Sometimes, in industry, a company with a project they don't want others to know about, will farm out several components to separate factories, so none of the individual factories know what the finished product will be.
Because Ballstar licensees have to buy all materials, (balls) print media etc. from Ballstars, the licensor (Ballstars) knows when there's a big fish on the line.
I imagine some of the big fish approach Ballstars directly, in an effort to cut out the middleman.
At that point, a reputable licensor would direct such business back to the licensees.
It has to be very tempting for Ballstars to jump directly on a large account, but falling to that temptation, with word of that practice hitting the streets, will work strongly against their chances for building a network of licensees. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri
