In this information packed resource you’ll also get detailed guidance on calculating royalty rates. You’ll find straightforward descriptions and guidance on different models used in calculating royalty rates and valuation:
- Proper use of simple rules of thumb explains how to properly apply simple yet powerful pricing models, and where many licensing execs go wrong
- Infringement damages analysis can determine a reasonable royalty as the difference between profits expected from infringing sales and a normal industry profit level. We show you an equation to help summarize this approach.
- Investment rate of return analysis requires consideration of the profits expected from exploitation of the various assets of a business including the technology that will be licensed. See how a fair rate of return for use of a specific patent can be derived and expressed as a royalty rate
- Discounted cash flow analysis is an excellent model for valuing and pricing technology. We show you how it captures forecasts, capital spending, and R&D expenses, along with other development costs, all in one analysis yielding an appropriate royalty rate
