Kenneth Cole & Global Brands Group Licensing Agreement

In the press release from Global Brands it said, “entered into a U.S. licensing agreement”.  At this time, I am not certain exactly what that means.  Does this mean that Global Brands has the license to sell any category of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel under the labels mentioned above in the USA market?  Honestly, I am not certain.  If you know, please add your knowledge on this subject into the comments section of this post.
