METHOD FOR BIDDING FOR LICENSING OF PATENT RIGHT OR THE LIKE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contract method for maximizing the possibility of proper licensing of patent, etc., by introducing a market mechanism (competition principle) when concluding the license contract of intellectual property right such as patent right so as to properly select a licensee with implementing capacity and so as to make the contracted licensee take proper responsibility. ;SOLUTION: A prospective licensing amount Pk (k=1,..., N) during a prescribed period T after contract and a contract temporary money (initial payment) Xk (k=1,..., N) and/or a licensing rate (running royalty) Yk (k=1,..., N) are presented from each applicant. It is desirable to fix the lowest limit price to the contract temporary money and/or the licensing rate in advance. A period income Rk=Xk+Pk*Yk (k=1,..., N) is calculated by the formula by each applicant based on the presented values to impart a licensing contract right to an applicant presenting its maximum value Rmas=max (Rk; k=1,..., N).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
