Abstract

This study suggested quantitative models to calculate a royalty rate as an important input factor of the relief from royalty method which has the characteristics of income approach method and market approach method that are generally used in the valuation of intangible assets. This study built a royalty rate regression model by referring to the patent infringement damages cases based on royalties, i.e., by using the royalty rates as a dependent variable and the patent indexes of the corresponding patent right as independent variables. Then, a logistic regression model was constructed by referring to inter-partes review cases of patent rights, i.e. by using not-unpatentable results as a dependent variable and the patent indexes of the corresponding patent right as independent variables. A final royalty rate was calculated by matching the royalty rate from the royalty rate regression model with a not-unpatentable probability from the logistic regression model. The suggested royalty rate was compared with the royalty rate obtained by the traditional methods to check its reliability.

무형자산의 가치평가에 많이 사용되고 있는 수익접근법과 시장접근법의 특성을 모두 가지고 있는 로열티공제법을 사용하여 지식재산권의 경제적 가치를 평가할 때, 로열티공제법의 중요한 투입변수인 로열티율을 객관적으로 산정하는 수리적 모형을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 미국의 특허침해 손해배상액을 로열티율로 산정한 판례를 참고로 하여 로열티율을 종속변수로, 당해 특허권의 특허지표를 독립변수로 하여 로열티율 산정 회귀모형을 적용한다. 또한 미국의 당사자계재심(Inter-Partes Review)판례를 참고로 하여 특허무효거절 결과를 종속변수로 하고 당해 특허권의 특허지표를 독립변수로 하여 로지스틱회귀 모형을 적합시킨다. 최종 로열티율은 위의 로열티율 산정 회귀모형에서 산출된 로열티율과 로지스틱회귀모형에서 산출된 특허무효거절 확률을 결합하여 산정한다. 마지막으로, 본 논문에서 구축된 모형에 의해 산정된 로열티율과 기준 방식에 의해 산정된 로열티율을 비교하여 제안된 모형의 객관성과 신뢰성을 분석한다.
