Sliding Scale.
An Annual Fee is applied to each sublicensed trademark. The fee is set according to two factors: A) the for profit/non-profit status of your company or organization, and B) the aggregate gross revenue you expect to earn in the next fiscal year for goods/services associated with the mark in question. Marks grouped in a brand are treated as a single mark.
Non-Profit Tier
Annual Fee = US$200
For Profit/Other Tier 1
[This is a "grandfather clause" for written sublicenses executed prior to August 1, 2004]Annual Fee = $0
For Profit/Other Tier 2
[Total projected annual gross revenue between zero and US $100,000]
Annual Fee = US $200
For Profit/Other Tier 3
[Total projected annual gross revenue between US $100,000 and US$200,000]
Annual Fee = US $500
