The Comparable Market Approach
If this approach is used, the royalty rate is based on the royalty offered by others in comparable industries. The flaw in this approach involves the inability to identify reliable data that can truly compare similarly situated deals. Examples of average royalty rates by industry are as follows:
Aerospace, 4 percent
Apparel, 6.8 percent
Automotive, 3.3 percent
Chemicals, 4.3 percent
Computers, 4.6 percent
Construction, 5.6 percent
Consumer goods, 4.8 percent
Electronics, 5.1 percent
Energy and environment, 8 percent
Health care equipment and products, 6.4 percent
Industrial goods, 6.4 percent
Machine tools, 4.8 percent
Pharma and biotech, 6 percent
Software, 9.6 percent
