`The Inventors Guide

`Royalty Rates
`
`One of the most important steps in licensing a patent or idea is
`establishing the royalty rate you will receive In return for granting a
`licensee the right to manufacture and sell your invention. In this article
`we will explain what royalty rates are, how to calculate the proper
`royalty rates, elements that effect royalty rates, protections to put in
`place, and other important things to consider when licensing an idea.
`
`— What are Royalties?
`
`ne
`
`Royalties are payments that are provided to a licensorby a licensee in
`exchange forthe right to operate under youridea.
`
`Royalty rates are affected by several criteria:
`
`Exclusive or Non-Exclusive
`If your intellectual property requires testing orcertification
`prior to being brought to market. having these milestones
`completed will lead to higher royalty rates.

`
`Upfront Sum
`The higherthe up-front sum being paid to the licensee,
`the lower royalty rate the licensor will likely receive as it
`is an element of the overall compensation.
`
`Industry Standard Royalty Rates
`Each industry tends to have an industry standard’
`royalty rate, See the endof this article for a list of
`industries and their average royalty rates.
`
`Company Standard Rates
`Companies that have a good amount of experience in
`licensing ideas tend to have a standard package that
`they offer inventors. The larger the company is and the

`The further along the intellectual property is to

`
`Market Potential
`The royalty rate will heavily depend upon the market
`potential of the idea you are looking to license. This can
`be difficult when you are trying to license an invention
`that is developing a new marketoris part of a new
`market that has not yet shown it’s full potential

`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
`
`AVM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC,
`
`Plaintiff;
`
`V.
`
`INTEL CORPORATION,
`
`Civil Action No. 15-33-RGA
`
`Defendant.
`
`MEMORANDUM ORDER
`
`"Shoot for the moon, but remember that if you miss, you will be floating off into the inky
`
`blackness of space with no hope of survival or rescue." 1 A VM shot for the moon, and, in my
`
`opinion, missed. The question now is whether it can survive. I think the answer is yes.
`
`A VM proffers a variety of sources from which a jury could find a reasonable royalty. I
`
`believe that A VM can put evidence into the record from which a jury could find a reasonable
`
`royalty. Such evidence includes historical facts, such as how much A VM paid for the patent,
`
`what its licensing approach was, and what sorts of offers Mr. Tran made to Intel in the past to
`
`license the patent. There may be problems at the margins in terms of when testimony becomes
`
`expert testimony or when it is hypothetical (see Civ. Act. No. 10-630, D.I. 283 at 9-14), but
`
`A VM can certainly put on fact testimony giving the jury some basis for finding a reasonable
`
`royalty. And, as I decide below, A VM can call Julie Davis as a witness and put on her expert
`
`testimony should it decide to do so.
`
`Much oflntel's argument is that A VM has violated the rules. The disclosures and
`
`interrogatory answers may be inadequate, but, under a Pennypack analysis, I will permit A VM to
`
`1 I am not sure of the source of this, but it is not original with me.
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 593-1 Filed 10/16/18 Page 27 of 29 PageID #: 48666
`Case 1:15-cv-00033-RGA Document 690 Filed 05/01/17 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 34281
`
`proceed. Under Pennypack, factors to consider when determining whether to exclude evidence
`
`include:
`
`(1) the prejudice or surprise in fact of the party against whom the excluded
`witnesses would have testified, (2) the ability of that party to cure the prejudice,
`(3) the extent to which [allowing the late-offered testimony] would disrupt the
`orderly and efficient trial of the case or of other cases in the court, and ( 4) bad
`faith or willfulness in failing to comply with the court's order.
`
`Meyers v. Pennypack Woods Home Ownership Assn., 559 F.2d 894, 904-05 (3d Cir. 1977).
`
`Since I do not think A VM acted willfully or in bad faith here, the fourth factor weighs in favor of
`
`allowing the testimony. Since I am only allowing testimony that has already been disclosed
`
`during discovery, and because trial will proceed as scheduled, the third factor also weighs in
`
`favor of allowing the testimony. As to prejudice, I am not persuaded that there is incurable
`
`prejudice to Intel by allowing Mr. Tran to testify to the facts I discussed above. Intel has
`
`deposed Mr. Tran extensively on these subjects and there is nothing that A VM is proposing to
`
`present at trial (or that I will allow to be presented) that was not already disclosed. The proposed
`
`testimony and evidence are not new to Intel. On the whole, the Pennypack factors weigh in
`
`favor of admitting the testimony.
`
`As for A VM calling Julie Davis to testify if Intel does not call her, it is within my
`
`discretion to allow A VM to call Intel's expert witness to testify even if Intel chooses not to call
`
`her. Peterson v. Willie, 81F.3d1033, 1037-38 & n.4 (I Ith Cir. 1996). In making this
`
`discretionary decision, courts weigh the interests of the party seeking to call the expert and of the
`
`court in reaching an informed resolution of the case against the possible prejudice to the party
`
`who originally retained the expert. N5 Techs. LLC v. Capital One NA., 56 F. Supp. 3d 755, 766
`
`(E.D. Va. 2014). Here, I am hard pressed to see the prejudice to Intel. Intel designated Ms.
`
`Davis as an expert witness, she was deposed, and Intel presumably is quite knowledgeable about
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 593-1 Filed 10/16/18 Page 28 of 29 PageID #: 48667
`Case 1:15-cv-00033-RGA Document 690 Filed 05/01/17 Page 3 of 4 PageID #: 34282
`
`the testimony she has offered. In contrast, to preclude A VM from eliciting her testimony once it
`
`has been disclosed through the expert report and deposition process would inhibit A VM's ability
`
`to proceed with the case. A VM is in a comer, and the bits of historical fact that it can produce
`
`are a thin reed on which to obtain a reasonable royalty that would withstand appellate review
`
`(assuming it satisfies the jury and me). On the other hand, Ms. Davis's opinions would likely
`
`provide a sound basis for a damages award. lfthere is liability here, the court and the jury would
`
`benefit from hearing Ms. Davis's opinions in reaching an informed resolution. Thus, I think it is
`
`fair to allow A VM to call Ms. Davis as a witness in its case if it chooses to do so. If A VM does
`
`not call Ms. Davis, Intel will have complete freedom, just as it would anyway, to call her or not
`
`to call her. This does not mean, however, that A VM has free reign to explore any topics with her
`
`that it wishes. Ms. Davis's testimony must be limited to what was disclosed in her expert report.
`
`Penn Nat. Ins. v. HNI Corp., 245 F.R.D. 190, 194-95 (M.D. Pa. 2007). Further, of course, at
`
`AVM's request, I have excluded some of her testimony already.
`
`If A VM does not call her, and if Intel does not call her, her report is inadmissible hearsay
`
`that does not fall within one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule. N5 Technologies, 56 F. Supp.
`
`3d at 765.
`
`Intel is directed to ensure Ms. Davis is present at trial if necessary. If AVM wants to call
`
`her as a witness, A VM needs to make that decision and advise Intel of its decision by 11 :00 p.m.
`
`tonight. If A VM decides that it will call her as a witness by 11 :00 p.m. tonight, it is responsible
`
`to reimburse Intel for all of Ms. Davis's contractual obligations effective beginning tomorrow.
`
`A VM can, of course, change its mind during the trial about calling Ms. Davis, but it will still be
`
`obligated to reimburse Intel through to the point where A VM releases her.
`
`All this being said, if A VM does not put on an expert computation of damages, A VM
