Ad Valorem Versus Per‐unit Royalty Licensing in a Cournot Duopoly Model

Abstract: Ad valorem royalty licensing is implemented when the licensor (i.e., patent‐holding firm) obtains ownership shares in the licensee as payment once the new technology is transferred. In a Cournot duopoly model, we compare two licensing forms between competitors of different productivity, ad valorem and per‐unit royalty licensing. This paper finds that ad valorem royalty licensing is superior to per‐unit royalty licensing for the patent‐holding firm when the cost‐reducing innovation is non‐drastic. The reason fo… Show more

“…The results of this article show that product differentiation and cost have important impacts on technology licensing and innovation behavior, which is consistent with existing research (e.g., Yan & Yang, 2018;Badia, 2019;Hsu, 2019). This paper considers the case in which the follower is the innovative enterprise, which contributes to the existing literature.…”

“…Zhang et al (2018) find that royalty licensing is optimal when the network effect is low. Hsu et al (2019) find that ad valorem royalty licensing is superior to per-unit royalty licensing for the supplier if cost-reducing innovation is non-drastic. From the above literature, it is suitable to use a royalty contract for our model.…”

“…Under an ad valorem profit royalty policy, a licensee pays a specified proportion of its profit to the innovator. Real world examples of profit‐sharing include agreements between Motorola and Universal Display Corporation in 2000, CSIRO and PolyNovo in 2005, and Microsoft and Skinkers in 2006 (see Hsu et al, 2019; Niu, 2017; San Martín & Saracho, 2010; Vishwasrao, 2007).…”

“…ere are many types of games, such as the Cournot game [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], the Bertrand game [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], the Stackelberg game [15][16][17], the evolutionary game [18], and the mixed game [19]. Many researchers have studied duopoly games with some interesting characteristics, such as bounded rationality [1,[15][16][17], technology licensing [3,20], and R&D [6,13]. Table 1 shows some recent research studies on duopoly games with integer-order difference equations.…”
