What is a licensed property? The intellectual property, normally a trademark or copyright, which could be a name, symbol, slogan, design, logo, icon, package design, image, photograph, phrase, work of authorship, or character – or any combination of these elements.

What is a product category? A group of related products that, bundled together, can be classified as a separate entity or class, such as: apparel, personal accessories, toys or electronics.

As you review your December and Q4 2009 royalty reports, be on the lookout for the 10 most costly royalty reporting issues.

Intellectual property licensees of all sizes often have insufficient staff and systems in place to effectively manage royalty reporting. In fact, studies show that 81% of all licensees under report royalties, and that 40% of licensees underpay by at least 50%. That is potentially $20,000 in lost royalty revenue for every $100,000 reported!

Factor in the amount of wasted time your own limited staff spends searching, copying, pasting, calculating, converting, mailing, emailing, faxing, and phoning, and it is clear that inadequate royalty reporting is a costly burden.
