Reasonable royalty rates

Article Abstract:

Licensing agreements typically involve profit-sharing arrangements. The '25% royalty rule' is a popular technique for determining a fair profit-sharing arrangement. The rule suggests that equitable royalties in licensing deals that are based on sales ought to be equivalent to an appropriate share of the licensee's pre-tax profit from the use of a license. It is also advantageous as it can be used effectively in the presentation of expert evidence when a court requires a reasonable estimate of hypothetical royalties in a dispute over intellectual property theft.

It's what you know that counts

Article Abstract:

Business valuators must be well-informed to be able to appear more credible to people they are trying to persuade. They cannot rely on documents and financial records alone in making generalizations. They must conduct secondary research, including extensive interviews with company managers. They must remember that courts only want the best overall valuation. Thus, valuators must have adquate knowledge on business competition, management techniques, industry trends and other valuable information.
