PREFACE
This supplement contains the following:
Chapter 1A, “Intellectual Property Landscape,” reexamines the
ever-changing r ole of intellectual property (IP) in business, among
institutions, and in the world. The explosive growth of patented tech
nologies, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets that we cited in
the original volume continues unabated, but in some new directions.
Non-U.S. countries and corporations are growing their own intellec
tual property at an increasing rate in order to remain competitive in
world markets. Among major corporations, intellectual property now
comprises over 80% of total enterprise value. Interestingly, intellectual
property value is now distributed over the whole spectrum of business
and is no longer so highly concentrated in a few industries. This chap
ter also discusses what is happening in the vital world of licensing,
which now produces over $100 billion annually just within the United
States. There is also an extensive discussion of current licensing strat
egies and the underlying reasons for the growth or licensing activity.
Chapter 1B, “U.S. Congress Flirts with Disaster,” discusses ele
ments of the Patent Reform Act of 2007 and the potential for great
harm to the U.S. economy. With the U.S. economy highly dependent
on intellectual property, changing the patent rules is dangerous. This
chapter outlines some of the pitfalls with which Congress is fl irting.
Chapter 12A, “Risk-Adjusted Cash Flows,” presents an alter
nate method for capturing risk when valuing technology. Traditionally,
when using an income approach for valuation, such as a discounted
cash flow analysis, uncertainty related to cash flows is accounted for
in the discount rate. For an emerging technology where many ques
tions remain, an enormous discount rate of 20%, 30%, or more might
be used. Such a rate is attempting to account for risks beyond infl a
tion and general business risks. In addition, such a rate is attempting
to reflect the added risks associated with possible outright failure of
the new technology or possible market rejection of the technology if
xix

xx Preface
it is ultimately commercialized. The alternative approach presented in
this chapter addresses risk in two parts. First, the discount rate used in
the alternate method is one that refl ects inflationary and traditional
business risks associated with the developer of the new technology.
The second element of this method addresses risk specific to the new
technology by establishing a probability factor that is directly applied
to the cash flows. The probability factor reflects an organization’s
experience with development projects and directly reflects the chances
of developing successful technology that the market will accept. The
results of the traditional and alternate methods for risk assessment may
be the same, but accounting for risk with a probability factor can in
some instances provide a more reliable conclusion. The probability
factor forces those conducting the valuation to directly identify devel
opment risks and directly investigate chances for success.
Chapter 12B, “Dealing with Risk and Uncertainty in Intellectual
Property Valuation and Exploitation,” was contributed by William
J. Murphy, professor of law at Pierce Law and an expert on the inter
play of business principles and intellectual property law. This chapter
recognizes that at the core of all valuation methods and exploitation
strategies is the necessity to analyze the future economic benefi ts asso
ciated with intellectual property rights. In turn, that analysis rests on
forecasts. Forecasts of revenues, royalties, commercialization costs, as
well as operating, advertising, and overhead expenses are just a few of
the line items that demand attention in this process. Professor Murphy
presents a discussion of several forecasting methodologies currently
in use, including decision tree analysis, Monte Carlo techniques, and
options analysis. He does so in a form that can be readily understood
and remains focused on the use of these tools as they relate to the pro
cess of valuing and exploiting intellectual property.
Chapter 14A, “Rights of Privacy, Publicity, and Celebrity Persona,”
discusses valuation issues associated with celebrity persona. Immense
value is associated with the entertainment industry and certain individu
als in that industry. Many movie stars are paid premium fees to appear
in a movie just because their presence in the film is known to guaran
tee a minimum of ticket sales. Beyond celebrities, though, is signifi cant
value associated with images and even sounds. Transitions in this asset
category are growing and often are the subject of litigation. This chapter
identifies special issues associated with these unique assets.

Preface xxi
Chapter 14B, “Intellectual Property and Intangible Asset
Volatility,” shows that the value of intellectual property is not immune
to economic downturns.
Chapter 27A, “Royalty Rates and License Fees for Technology,”
shows the frequency of different levels of royalty rates and the per
centage of license deals that include up-front license fees. This chapter
is based on a research study undertaken to expand and enhance the
database of license agreement financial terms maintained by IPRA,
Inc. Some interesting results of the study included confirmation that a
royalty of 5% of sales is most common and can be found in almost all
of the industries studied. Also discovered was that up-front license fees
are not common, and when they are part of a deal they are dominated
by cash-only payments without the payment of stock for the licensor.
Chapter 27B, “License Fees and Royalty Rate Frequency for
Technology,” is an update to Chapter 27A based on new information
published in the fifth edition to Royalty Rates for Technology pub
lished by IPRA, Inc.
Chapter 27C, “Royalty Rates and License Fees for
Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology,” shows the frequency of dif
ferent levels of royalty rates and information about license fees
for pharmaceutical and biotechnology. This chapter is based on a
research study undertaken to expand and enhance the database of
license agreement financial terms maintained by IPRA, Inc.
NEW Chapter 27D, “License Fees and Royalty Rates for
Technology Update,” is an update to Chapter 27B based on new infor
mation published in the sixth edition to Royalty Rates for Technology published by IPRA, Inc.
Chapter 33A, “The Magnitude and Meaning of Royalty
Misreporting,” by Debora R. Stewart, CPA, and Judy A. Byrd, CPA,
of Invotex Group’s Intellectual Property Management and Finance
practice, highlights a critical element of IP management too often
neglected. After development of intellectual property and signifi cant
time and money in licensing negotiations, the actual collection of
royalties that are due is not thoroughly managed. In their work, Ms.
Stewart and Ms. Byrd have found disturbing errors in reporting and
paying royalties. Sometimes the errors are caused by outright fraud
by a licensor. More often, though, errors occur from miscalculations,
incorrect interpretation of license agreements, inadvertent omission of

products from the royalty base covered in the license agreement, and
several other honest but costly mistakes. In this chapter the most com
mon errors are identified along with lessons that can be implemented
in your next license agreement so all royalties that are due a licensor
are actually collected.
Chapter 33B, “Intellectual Property Audit and Management,” by
Ron Carlson, discusses the importance of knowing about your intel
lectual property so it can be integrated into business strategies. The
chapter explains the importance of conducting an IP audit and the
strengths and weaknesses of the different methods that are currently
being employed. Software solutions are discussed, including the enter
prise software product offered by his firm, Innovation Asset Group.1
Chapter 35A, “Quantifying Reasonable Royalties: The Entire
Market Value Rule,” by Richard J. Gering, PhD, CLP, discusses new
cases that are increasing the importance of considering the entire mar
ket rule when defining the royalty base and calculating damages based
on a theory of reasonable royalties.
NEW Chapter 35B, “New Guidance about Apportionment,” cites
Summit 6 v. Samsung and an apportionment methodology successfully
used to calculate a reasonable royalty theory for damages. The method
apportions an infringing smart phones price to a percentage of the
phones price attributed to a camera feature, then apportions the price
of the camera feature based on customer usage. Profits attributed to
the final price apportionment are allocated and serve as the basis for a
per unit royalty.
NEW Chapter 35C, “Lost Profits for New Businesses,” consid
ers the unique challenges associated with determining lost profits for a
new business that has yet to show profits from its operations.
Chapter 45, “New Measure of Infringement Damages—Future
Damages,” discusses some considerations needed to address the ques
tion raised by eBay Inc. v. MercExchange that a permanent injunction
is no longer a guarantee. The alternative may be an award of royalties
to be paid on future sales. This new chapter considers whether the
royalty rate applied to future sales should be different from the rate
applied to past infringement sales.

Preface xxiii
Chapter 45A, “Continually Evolving Patent Damages,” dis
cusses recent decisions and their impact on the future of infringe
ment damages. As judges make decisions and appeals courts affi rm or
remand, the determination of patent infringement damages is continu
ally refi ned.
NEW Chapter 45B, “The 25% Rule Is Dead,” discusses how the
25% rule is no longer recognized by the Federal Courts as a method
for determining a reasonable royalty rate for calculating infringement
damages.
Appendix G, “More Sample Royalty Rate Information,” pre
sents royalty rate data developed from a recent research study com
pleted to expand and enhance our database. This appendix presents
some interesting results of the study. The information in our database
has been collected from reliable sources from September 1990 through
December 2009 and is published in Royalty Rates for Technology,
fourth edition.
Appendix H, “Trademark Royalty Rates,” presents some of the
new royalty rate data discovered while creating the newest edition to
Royalty Rates for Trademarks and Copyrights, fourth edition.
Appendix H-A, “More Trademark and Copyright Royalty
Rates,” presents more new royalty rate data discovered while creating
the newest edition to Royalty Rates for Trademarks and Copyrights, fi fth edition.
Appendix I, “Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Royalty
Rates,” presents some of the new royalty rate data discovered while
creating the newest edition to Royalty Rates for Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology, seventh edition.
Appendix J, “Telecommunications Royalty Rates,” focuses on
royalty rates in the industry. The telecommunications companies are
frequently under attack with patent infringement lawsuits. The constant
advancement of services and equipment inevitably steps on someone’s
patented invention.
Appendix K, “Electrical and Energy Royalty Rates,” features roy
alty rates from real licensing deals for the electrical and energy industry
from the IPRA, Inc. data base titled Royalty Rates for Technology, fi fth
edition.

PART 1 VALUATION
In this, the first major section of the book, the reader will fi nd the
principles that are the foundation of the sections that follow. In order
to quantify the value of intellectual property and intangible assets, it
is necessary to fully understand their nature and economic character
istics. It is clear that these assets do not create value by themselves.
They must be teamed with other assets in order to be economically
exploited. Therefore, we discuss the relationship between intellectual
property and intangible assets and the business enterprise in which
they reside or in which they will be placed for exploitation.
Valuation is not a crystal ball exercise. Because it is fi rmly based
in return on investment principles, this section presents these underpin
nings before moving on to the specific valuation techniques. With that
grounding, we then proceed to discuss some finer points as they apply
to special business situations, embryonic technology, and international
issues.
