1. Meet with a Signify IP licensing representative

The LED signage program can be made available for various product offerings, so it is important to understand what your offering to the market is to determine the correct license fee for you. We make a distinction between finished posterboxes and signage kits. What do you offer?

- Finished posterboxes with the following lighting options:
   - Single color
   - Tuneable white
   - Color changing

- Signage kits which contain only the driver and LED light engine.
- Both finished posterboxes and signage kits.

2. Portfolio Analysis

We work with you to determine which of your products are relevant and require a license.

3. Choose the royalty reporting approach

Choose between the flat rate and itemized approach which is explained in the Royalties Payment section.

Royalties / Payment

Royalty payments for the LED-based Signage and Signage kit program are based on net revenue* for any relevant products. Royalty payments are charged only for products manufactured or sold in countries where Signify has at least one issued patent covering a feature of the licensed product.

For signage kits containing the driver and LED light engine	the royalty payment is 9%
For completed posterboxes with lighting options the royalty payment is dependent of the color of the LEDs:	3% for single color
	4% for tuneable white
	5% for color changing

* Net Revenue is the price invoiced by a posterbox or posterbox-kit supplier to its customer, excluding freight, insurances, and taxes
There are two royalty payment methods to choose from: flat rate or itemized

Flat rate

In this approach, the royalty will reflect the average rate over all products sold, taking into account the patent coverage per country of manufacture or sale (as the case may be). This flat rate (weighted average) approach also requires much less paperwork.

Itemized

The itemized approach is a standard, product-by-product royalty approach based on net revenues of relevant products and relevant sales on a country-by-country basis. This approach requires a more time and effort, it provides a line-by-line itemised overview of the licensed products.
