I have been working with a patent attorney to obtain a provisional patent and moving forward I will require both a design and utility patent and my guy is willing to negotiate fees for licensing. I know an approximate what the upfront price of his services and I can figure out what is fair as for interest or carrying costs. But how to I assess the risk and calculate a fair percentage?
Furthermore my attorney has contact with an individual who has his contacts with a major industry leader where my invention could be licensed to. How do I calculate the worth of these services/opportunities? Also my invention is scalable and can be used for both consumer and industrial markets I want to retain the industrial markets since I have laid the groundwork for an industrial licensee. Please give me advice and your stories good and bad.

Thanks

Some of these topics are covered here and in the info section of our site.

I will ask Ron Docie to cover these in some of his future posts on his blog as well.

Thanks for the inspiration,

Michelle
