Justee's royalty agreement review tool analyzes payment contracts for calculation clarity, definition adequacy, audit right presence, and payment term fairness. The AI identifies risks including ambiguous calculations, expansive deductions from revenue base, missing audit rights, and delayed payment timing. Justee provides suggested revisions based on licensing standards. Royalty agreements define ongoing payments for IP use, typically as percentages of revenue or per-unit fees. Accurate calculation depends on clear definitions. Common issues include "net sales" definitions with excessive deductions, reporting that lacks detail for verification, and payment delays that harm cash flow.

Powered by Justee AI • Free Royalty Agreement Analysis
Justee recently analyzed their royalty agreement for a 5% net sales royalty for an inventor licensing their patented medical device to a manufacturer in Minneapolis, MN.
Issue Found: The "net sales" definition allowed deductions for "marketing expenses" and "administrative overhead" at the licensee's discretion, which could reduce the royalty base by 30-40%.
Justee Recommendation: We redefined net sales to only allow deductions for returns, shipping, and taxes, added annual audit rights at licensee's expense if discrepancies exceeded 3%, and included minimum royalty guarantees.
""Net Sales" means gross sales less returns, shipping, taxes, and such other reasonable deductions as are customary in Licensee's industry."
""Net Sales" means gross sales less only: (i) actual returns and allowances; (ii) shipping and insurance; and (iii) sales taxes actually paid. No deduction shall be made for marketing, administrative costs, or discounts exceeding 10%."
Why it matters: Royalty calculations depend entirely on how "net sales" is defined. Open-ended deductions can dramatically reduce royalty payments. Specify exactly what can be deducted.
