What is Technology ?
It is a complex of patented and/or unpatented
know-how, of general engineering, science and
operating experience. It is all of the knowledge that
makes a production and a manufacturer successful
What is Know-How ?
It means some knowledge and experience that can be
used in practice, which the one offers it, has in his
possession, whilst the one who needs it and wants to
acquire it does not.

What is a licence ?
Therefore, licence should be understood to mean two goods or
commodity namely:
certain expert knowledge or know-how and
a permission or grant to use such knowledge under certain
conditions.
Note: In certain rare cases, no know-how, only permission is required
Initially, a licence meant nothing more than permission to dosomething that would otherwise be forbidden and most probably atort, such as infringing someone elses patent or trade mark.
Presently it is generally understood to refer to a wide range ofagreements principally concerning the sale or leasing of industrialand commercial expert knowledge under certain conditions andagainst valuable consideration.
Such expert Knowledge is generally named know-how andcould be independent from the fact whether or not it is patented.

Value Estimation and Pricing of Technology
Factors Affecting the Value of a License or Technology
To what purpose can it be used and how valuable
will it be
What did it cost the owner to obtain possession of
or develop it
How many suppliers can offer it
V l E ti ti f th T h l
5/25/2018 Arunabha Pradhan IPR

1. Rules of Thumb
50% of one years profit made by licensee ( if technology is not leading)
25% of the estimated total profits
10% of the capitalised cost or, combination of the two
5-10% of the total sales price
2. Factors Considered by Each Party
Costs
of developing the technology with patent costs of maintaining the technology (further development)
of assistance in the transfer in respect of the actual expenses involved
with sending experts, preparation of documents, drawings, etc.
of such assistance as a loss by having his staff involved in the transfer
and absorbed in such activity which could otherwise have been invested
in alternative possibilities with potential profits
or losses involved in potential penalties for not meeting guaranties
Income
From licence fees and
From other potential advantages
Value Estimation of the Technology

5/25/2018 Arunabha Pradhan IPR
31/76
33
3.ROOT and CONTRACTORMethod - American License FeeDetermining Practices
Analysis of 39 companies :109 licence agreements concluded in 41countries were examined
Upper LimitLower value of following two factors
The value of the technology to the licensee (in the evaluation of thelicensor)
At what price could the licensee obtain the same technology from
another supplier (according to the evaluation of the licensor)Lower Limit
Sum of the expenses involved with the transfer of technology and incomesfrom an alternative investment of such efforts at their present valuediscounted at a given interest rate
4. Koran Value Estimation
Can be approached by following relationship:
L = (z)*(i)*(Q)
where z = rating factor, appears in percentage, i = time factor, (serve mainly
for assessing qualitative relationships, Q= actual value added value of profitor production value
5/25/2018 Arunabha Pradhan IPR
32/76
34
Koran Value Estimation contd.
The contents of z and i can be interpreted by means of symbolicfunctions
z= f(u,b,o,t)
i = f(v,h,e)
z in practical way can be told as potential factor depending ontechnical level and complexity
and
I being potential factor depending on rate, frequency of use
Where
u = function depending on novelty
b = degree of complexity of task & solution
o = level of solutiont = mass factor applicability
v = development rate
h = share of the new technology
e = class of value volume

Methods of License Fee Payments
Payment Form Payment Terms Objective
Down Payment By signature of theagreement
To cover licensors up-front costs and securecommitment from thelicensee company

After the formulation development by Prof Bachhawats Labwas completed proving the efficacy and substantiated pre-clinical work, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) hadfunded the clinical evaluation of the process at Seth GSMedical College and KEM hospital, Mumbai.
KEM along with other prominent hospitals of Mumbai carriedout clinical trials for serious and invasive systemic fungalinfection.
The clinical trials for Kala-Azar was carried out by a team ofspecialists consisting of Dr. C.P. Thakur, the former Union
Minister of Health and others.

After the clinical trials were successfully completed thetechnology was formally handed over to NRDC by DBT forlicensing and commercialization.
NRDC had licensed the technology initially to M/s ACELaboratories, New Delhi which failed to commercialize theknow-how despite support from NRDC.
The technology was re-licensed to M/s Lifecare InnovationsGurgaon, which has successfully commercialized the know-how
Commercialization by NRDC- Liposomal Amphotericin B

The Liposomal Amphotericin B is marketed by M/s.Lifecare Innovations Pvt. Ltd. as FUNGISOME
FUNGISOME contains cholesterols essential forminimizing toxicity of Amphotericin B to a safe level
FUNGISOMEconverts into several small unicellularliposomes thereby substantially increases thetherapeutic index
FUNGISOME requires sonication for applicationwhich enhances the therapeutic index of the drug.
Drug administration is done in one hour.
The Product- Liposomal Amphotericin B

Application- Liposomal Amphotericin B
The FUNGISOME is used for the treatment of Systemic
Mycosis and Kala Azar.
Serious and invasive Systemic Mycosis frequently occurs
in patients of Organ transplantats, Dialysis and those
undergoing Radio therapy/chemotherapy for Cancer, AIDS
etc.
FUNGISOME is also used for the treatment of the
victims of serious burn injuries.

Graphite having inherent lubricating properties, when mixed with Aluminium Alloys to form composites which
has self lubricating and better tribological properties, expected to have excellent material for Automobile
components
Developed at Regional Research Laboratory, Bhopal 1986
Assignment Assigned to NRDC for Commercialisation 1987
Potential Number of international companies including CMALCO, Australia,showed intereston the technology
It was planned that before negotiating with international companies, the technologymay be licenced to Indian Companies and make commercial success
1stLicenceAgreement
One firm in Ghaziabad engaged in the manufacture of Automobile Pistons and thecompany planned to market the product in the replacement market
Bottlenecks The company faced problems in implementing the process in their production plant
NRDC coordinated with the company and scientist of the laboratory to successfullyimplement the process.
The company successfully adopted the technology
Marketing The company launched the product in the replacement market for pistonsThe performance of the pistons was found to be better than normal pistons
The product was not accepted in the market because of dull appearance of the composites compared tothe normal pistons
Result The company tried for some time for pursuing with the product, but could not succeed
The project was ultimately abandoned
The technology could not further pursued because on failure of the 1stlicencee.
