The Business of Inventing
In addition to setting aside
your false beliefs, taking action
involves shifting your approach to
challenges that develop along the way.
The Business of inventing is tough stuff. But it doesn't have to be. As an inventor, you're an
entrepreneur
who already thinks creatively. That
creativity will benefit you throughout
the inventing process. We encourage you
to tap into those creative thinking
abilities as you proceed through the
inventing process. When you're
confronted with a challenge, don't
change your goals but your plan of
action. Make your invention act like a business. Constantly create
new options
for yourself during all the steps as an
inventor and you will succeed.

About: Product
Royalties
Royalties are payments
made by one party (the
"licensee") to another
(the "licensor") for
ongoing usage of an
asset, usually an
intellectual property
(IP) right. The royalty
for a given case is
determined by many
factors including:
market drivers and
demand structure,
territorial of rights,
exclusivity of rights,
inherent risk, strategic
need, fundability, deal
structure, level of
innovation, stage of
development,
sustainability of the
product, and
availability of similar
technologies.
Navigating through the
royalty terms is
important. You commonly
have both an advance
royalty, which is a flat
fee paid upfront, and
ongoing royalties, which
are paid as a percentage
of every sale you make.
The advance
royalty is
basically a
guarantee
that the
licensor will
get some money even if
your product does not
sell. Then, if and when
your
product
sells, the
licensor will get a
percentage of the
sale on average, about
5 percent of the
wholesale price of each
product sold.
The licensor usually
decides what the
royalties will be, and
those rates are pretty
firmly set. So make sure
you understand what they
are and that they are
spelled out in your
licensing agreement to
avoid any surprises
later. In fact, that
agreement is crucial in
determining not only
what the licensor
receives, but also what
rights you get.
