Know-How Royalty Clause Samples
A Know-How Royalty clause establishes the obligation for one party to pay royalties to another for the use of proprietary knowledge, techniques, or processes that are not protected by patents but are valuable for commercial purposes. Typically, this clause outlines the calculation method for royalties, the scope of know-how covered, and the duration of payments, which may be tied to the use or commercialization of the know-how in products or services. Its core function is to ensure that the provider of specialized, non-patented expertise is fairly compensated, thereby incentivizing the sharing of valuable technical information while protecting the interests of both parties.
