Minimum Annual Royalty Payment Clause Samples
The Minimum Annual Royalty Payment clause requires the licensee to pay a set minimum amount in royalties to the licensor each year, regardless of actual sales or usage. This obligation typically applies even if the calculated royalties based on sales fall below the specified minimum, ensuring the licensor receives a guaranteed income from the agreement. The core function of this clause is to protect the licensor from insufficient revenue and incentivize the licensee to actively commercialize the licensed product or technology.
