After seven years on television, which is a feat in itself these days with cancel happy TV executives, it surprising how it took this long for an office supply company to score a licensing agreement with NBC to connect fans of The Office with an actual product that is nothing more than a fictitious prop up to this point. It is the equivalent of the red stapler from Office Space or maybe the hatch from Lost. NBC Universal has agreed upon a contract with Quill Lincolnshire, Inc. to receive six percent of the profits earn from the sales of the product on Quill.com over the next two years. I would assume the contract could be renewed at the end of the two years if the product continues to sell in large quantities and if the television show continues to produce and broadcast new episodes for the next several years.
