Licensing Collins Data
Collins has an active licensing department which works with partners to bring Collins copyrights to a wider audience throughout the world through both print and digital agreements.
Licensing Collins data and trademarks provides our partners with internationally known and respected branding and up-to-date and accessible content that can be used within various distribution vehicles, providing industry integrity and helping to expand our partners' brands within each unique marketplace.
Our dictionary texts and related language content lend themselves to exploitation in a wide variety of areas such as:
- co-edition book publishing
- academic and commercial research
- software products in a variety of formats
- internet websites and portals
- corporate intranets
- databases
- mobile services (WAP/SMS)
- digital and interactive television
- handheld devices such as e-dictionaries, PDAs, GPS
- learning and educational games
Our dictionary content is quantified in terms of number of 'references', by which we mean the headwords, derived forms, set expressions and examples of usage which appear in our dictionaries. There are IPA transcriptions for headwords (and irregular plurals) across all our dictionary texts.
Our raw data is clean, tagged, consistent and fully documented, and should pose no problem for software engineers. If necessary, we can discuss reformatting and tailoring data to suit your purposes.
As we are a creator of digital products we can license to you just the raw data or our data with applications.
A variety of business models are available but our standard licensing agreements are non-exclusive and of limited term (up to 3 years depending on the usage).
