What is a Revenue Sharing Agreement?

A revenue sharing agreement is a legal document between two parties where one party has to pay a percentage of profits or revenues received to the other for the rights to use something. This contract allows a company to share in the profits from a product or service that is directly linked to the company's core business.

For example, a music producer may sign an agreement with a record company where the producer will pay 25% of all revenue received from CD sales to the record company, who has rights to the sound recordings. In this case, revenue sharing is used as a means for the record company to recoup costs on developing and promoting the artist.

Once the 50,000 stored specimen level is reached for each state, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any further Revenue Sharing over and above the aforementioned ongoing 50,000 paid for specimens. However, if one or more of the Revenue Sharing Specimens is removed from storage, Purchaser will be entitled to a Revenue Share with respect to the next Primary Stored Specimens received by the Company from a resident of either Illinois or New York respectively, until the number of Revenue Share Specimens is again equal to 50,000 for each state respectively.

Ryenne S.

Principal Attorney Free Consultation Chicago, IL 14 Yrs Experience Licensed in IL DePaul University College of Law

My name is Ryenne Shaw and I help business owners build businesses that operate as assets instead of liabilities, increase in value over time and build wealth. My areas of expertise include corporate formation and business structure, contract law, employment/labor law, business risk and compliance and intellectual property. I also serve as outside general counsel to several businesses across various industries nationally. I spent most of my early legal career assisting C.E.O.s, General Counsel, and in-house legal counsel of both large and smaller corporations in minimizing liability, protecting business assets and maximizing profits. While working with many of these entities, I realized that smaller entities are often underserved. I saw that smaller business owners weren’t receiving the same level of legal support larger corporations relied upon to grow and sustain. I knew this was a major contributor to the ceiling that most small businesses hit before they’ve even scratched the surface of their potential. And I knew at that moment that all of this lack of knowledge and support was creating a huge wealth gap. After over ten years of legal experience, I started my law firm to provide the legal support small to mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs need to grow and protect their brands, businesses, and assets. I have a passion for helping small to mid-sized businesses and startups grow into wealth-building assets by leveraging the same legal strategies large corporations have used for years to create real wealth. I enjoy connecting with my clients, learning about their visions and identifying ways to protect and maximize the reach, value and impact of their businesses. I am a strong legal writer with extensive litigation experience, including both federal and state (and administratively), which brings another element to every contract I prepare and the overall counsel and value I provide. Some of my recent projects include: - Negotiating & Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements - Drafting Trademark Licensing Agreements - Drafting Ambassador and Influencer Agreements - Drafting Collaboration Agreements - Drafting Service Agreements for service-providers, coaches and consultants - Drafting Master Service Agreements and SOWs - Drafting Terms of Service and Privacy Policies - Preparing policies and procedures for businesses in highly regulated industries - Drafting Employee Handbooks, Standard Operations and Procedures (SOPs) manuals, employment agreements - Creating Employer-employee infrastructure to ensure business compliance with employment and labor laws - Drafting Independent Contractor Agreements and Non-Disclosure/Non-Competition/Non-Solicitation Agreements - Conducting Federal Trademark Searches and filing trademark applications - Preparing Trademark Opinion Letters after conducting appropriate legal research - Drafting Letters of Opinion for Small Business Loans - Drafting and Responding to Cease and Desist Letters I service clients throughout the United States across a broad range of industries.
