The rates of the product license program offer a considerable discount on cumulative royalties that otherwise would have to be paid for the individual format licenses. These discounts are at least 40% on the cumulative royalty rates.
We have established what we believe to be a reasonable royalty for the technologies offered both from a licensor and licensee perspective, taken into account the market and prices for BD products and the superior customer experience of these technologies.
