Negotiating Royalties: Looking for advice.
QUESTIONThat's very helpful, thank you. Do you mind me asking what percentage you'd benchmark against for royalties? You don't have to tell me what percentage you agreed with your clients, but more of a guideline for what's to be expected. For example, are we talking .5% or like 10%. Don't really have...- RobbieFoston
