Royalty Rates in Copyright Agreements:
A BVR Guide to Full-Text Licensing Agreements

For an owner of intellectual property rights, “managing” that intellectual property is now the operative demand — in an uncertain … or certainly sluggish … economy, organizations need to know where to allocate precious resources. And the first step to “managing” IP is ascertaining its value.

There are several treatises on valuing trademarks and trade names … still more on valuing patents. Up until now, very little has been assembled to assist in the valuation of an organization’s copyright assets. Through the transfer of copyright intellectual property rights, creators monetize their works. The two most common types of copyright transfers are assignments and licenses. Royalty Rates in Copyright Agreements illustrates how others have realized value from their copyrights through licensing.

By looking at the licenses others have negotiated, readers can gain empirical insight into relative values of these intellectual properties. The full text licenses contained herein contain non-redacted variable or “running” royalty rates. Each agreement is first summarized and then provided in full text. This one-of-a-kind guide features over 800 pages of agreements and summaries, including agreements for music, movie, character/personas, scientific/technological information and more.

Intellectual property valuations occur in the biotech industry for a number of reasons, including licensing, transfer pricing, mergers and acquitions, collateral and litigation. In order to make an agreement to license intellectual property rights (IPR), either incoming or outgoing, the parties must know as accurately as possible the real value of the IPR. Additionally, some licensing agreements specifically address non-cash, non-equity exchanges, calling for fair market valuations of the assets exchanged.

To assist in constructing these agreements, BVR has published the Royalty Rates in Biotech guide, which contains over 500 pages of full text copies of actual licensing agreements in the biotech industry. These hard-to-find agreements will provide valuable guidance in setting royalty rates and addressing complex issues in a license agreement.
