METHOD AND ELECTRONIC PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR ROYALTY ALLOCATION

摘要

A method for calculating royalty allocation to a number of licensors includes iteratively the following steps: determining a first value of a share of royalties for each of the licensors based on predetermined criteria; determining a part of the number of licensors as enforcing licensors, based on the determination whether participating in one or more enforcement actions; assigning to each enforcing licensor a second value of a share of royalties based on the royalties paid by those licensees against which the enforcing licensor has participated in one or more enforcement actions; and determining a percentage of royalty to be allocated to each licensor based on the first value and the second value.
