Royalty Agreements
Royalty agreements are used where one party allows another to use intellectual property or other protected subject matter in return for payment. That payment is usually calculated by reference to the income, sales or other value generated from the licensed use.
This collection contains royalty agreement templates for copyright works, trade marks, patents and broader licensing arrangements. They are designed to help licensors and licensees set out clear commercial terms for the grant of rights, the scope of permitted use, the parties’ obligations and the royalties payable.
The documents include options for exclusive and non-exclusive licences, royalty-based payment structures, advances against royalties, initial fees, records, reporting and other terms that commonly support royalty arrangements.
Royalty Agreement Templates for IP Licensing
Use these templates where a licence needs to define both the rights granted and the financial return for using the licensed subject matter. The collection includes agreements for:
- general royalty-based licensing arrangements;
- publishing arrangements between authors and publishers;
- copyright works;
- registered or unregistered trade marks; and
- patented inventions, including product and process patents.
Choosing the Right Royalty Agreement
The Standard Royalty Contract is suitable where the subject matter does not fit neatly into a more specific IP category, or where a broader licence structure is needed.
The Author's Royalty Agreement is tailored to publishing arrangements where an author assigns copyright in a work to a publisher in return for an advance and royalties.
The Copyright Royalty Agreement, Trade Mark Royalty Agreement and Patent Royalty Agreement are each designed for their respective forms of intellectual property, with terms that reflect the nature of the licensed rights.
