Royalty agreements in catalysis can take several forms:
Percentage of Sales: A common structure where the licensee pays a percentage of the net sales derived from products that use the licensed technology. Fixed Fee per Unit: The licensee pays a fixed amount for each unit of product produced using the licensed catalyst. Milestone Payments: Payments are made when specific development or commercial milestones are reached. Upfront Payments: An initial payment made when the agreement is signed, which may be coupled with ongoing royalties.
