Royalty Offset Clause Samples

A Royalty Offset clause allows a party to reduce the amount of royalties owed under a contract by deducting certain amounts, such as previously paid advances or other specified payments. In practice, this means that if the licensee has already paid an advance against royalties, future royalty payments are decreased until the advance is recouped, or if the licensor owes the licensee money for other reasons, those amounts can be offset against royalty payments. The core function of this clause is to prevent double payment and ensure that financial obligations between the parties are balanced, providing a clear mechanism for adjusting royalty payments in light of other financial transactions.

Royalty Offset. If COMPANY, or an AFFILIATE is obligated to pay royalties to one or more third parties in order to obtain a license or similar right necessary to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer to sell, lease, or import a LICENSED PRODUCT, and COMPANY or an AFFILIATE actually pays said third-party royalties, COMPANY will be entitled to credit up to [***] of the amounts actually paid to such third parties against the royalties due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ under this Agreement in the same REPORTING PERIOD, provided, however, that in no event shall the royalty payments under Section 4.1 (d) be reduced to less than [***] of NET SALES of such LICENSED PRODUCT in such REPORTING PERIOD; provided, further, that such offset shall only be available in connection with such payments to third party(ies) pursuant to agreements that permit a similar right of offset against royalties payable thereunder as a result of royalties payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the PATENT RIGHTS under this Section. For clarification, COMPANY may only offset royalties paid to third parties from the sales in the same country as the royalties due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. For example, if COMPANY owes royalties to third parties for NET SALES in country Y and country Z, and COMPANY owes royalties to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for NET SALES in country Y, COMPANY may only offset third-party royalties on NET SALES from country Y against royalties due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for NET SALES in country Y.

Royalty Offset. RPRP and Introgen understand and recognize that RPRP is a party to consulting, license and/or research funding agreements (but not agreements where third party non-government investors finance the research or development of technology for RPRP) with other commercial and research institutions ("collaborators") which agreements provide for RPRP's payment of royalties on products manufactured, used or sold by RPRP based on the contribution of said collaborators to the discovery and development of said products. Consequently, it is foreseeable that a Collaboration Product developed with Introgen may become subject to multiple royalty obligations as the result of more than one collaborator's contribution to the development of, or ownership of patent rights covering, the Collaboration Product. In order to avoid the development of a dispute over royalty entitlements and to provide RPRP with the incentive to invest in and commercialize products which might otherwise not be commercialized due to excess royalty obligations, RPRP and Introgen agree that the royalty rates applicable to any specific Collaboration Product pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8.1 (the "Introgen Royalty") or pursuant to an agreement with a third party collaborator not an Affiliate at the time of agreement or the payment of a royalty (the "Third Party Royalties") may be reduced to provide reasonable royalty income to each contributing collaborator. RPRP shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to establish agreements and amend its existing royalty-bearing agreements with said collaborators so as to ensure the fair distribution of royalty income based on Collaboration Products for which more than one royalty claim is made, provided the Introgen Royalty paid to Introgen shall in no event be adjusted to [*] on a country by country basis (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement). It is understood that this Section shall not be invoked by RPRP as regards Introgen until the sum of the Introgen Royalty and Third Party Royalties payable by RPRP for a Collaboration Product ("Total Royalty") is greater than [*] on a country by country basis. Thereafter, royalty reduction shall be applied equitably in accordance with the formula in this Section 8.2, taking into account each collaborator's minimum royalty rate, to reduce on a percentage basis the royalty rates specified in all collaborator agreements having an applicable royalty adjustment provision therein and thereby adjust, to ...
Royalty Offset. If the amount of taxes payable to the Crow Tribe is reduced for any reason (including, but not limited to, a reduction in the Montana tax rates) after this Coal Lease takes effect, the Minimum Royalty provided in Article 7.1 and payable to the Crow Tribe shall be increased by an amount necessary to offset the reduction in taxes, so that the total taxes and royalty paid to the Crow Tribe equals the current taxes in existence in 2003, plus the royalty otherwise payable under this Coal Lease; provided, however, that the maximum royalty rate shall not exceed 12.5% of the Sales Price; and provided further that if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Crow Tribe that the increased royalty will result in serious difficulty in marketing the coal, or loss of sales under current long term coal sales agreements, the Crow Tribe will negotiate in good faith on reducing the amount of increase in the royalty rate. If a tax increase occurs, following a tax reduction and royalty increase per this section, then there will be a commensurate royalty reduction, so that the total taxes and royalty paid remains as provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.3.
