Production Royalty Clause Samples
A Production Royalty clause establishes the obligation for one party, typically a licensee or producer, to pay a percentage of revenue or a fixed amount to another party, usually the owner of intellectual property or mineral rights, based on the quantity or value of goods produced. In practice, this clause details how royalties are calculated—such as a percentage of net sales from manufactured products or extracted resources—and specifies the timing and method of payment. Its core function is to ensure that the rights holder receives ongoing compensation tied directly to the actual production or sales, thereby aligning interests and providing a clear mechanism for sharing the financial benefits of production.
