This scope may include tokenization for digital assets, the creation of NFTs, use in metaverse platforms, or integration into decentralized applications (dApps). The agreement specifies whether the use of the intellectual property is exclusive or non-exclusive and outlines any restrictions on its application.

Compensation for the intellectual property is negotiated and outlined in the licensing agreement, ensuring that creators are fairly compensated for the use of their work. RocketAxis structures these terms based on the nature of the project, including upfront payments, ongoing royalties, and potential bonuses. The compensation model is designed to be transparent and equitable, taking into consideration the value of the IP, the expected revenue from the project, and the length of the licensing arrangement.

Licensing agreements ensure that creators retain ownership of their intellectual property, with RocketAxis only securing the rights to use and monetize the IP within the terms of the agreement. This approach respects the creator's rights while providing the necessary flexibility to develop projects that can reach global markets through Web3 technologies.

The agreement includes provisions for the termination of the license, ensuring that either party can end the relationship under specified circumstances, such as breach of terms, failure to meet financial obligations, or changes in project direction. The contract may also outline renewal terms, which would allow RocketAxis to extend the license upon mutual agreement, ensuring continuity for successful projects.

Key Elements of Revenue Sharing Agreements

RocketAxis uses a flexible revenue-sharing model that can be adapted to the needs and goals of the project. The model typically includes two main forms of compensation:

This is a one-time payment made at the beginning of the collaboration, often used to secure licensing rights, intellectual property, or an initial investment in a project.

After the launch of the project, RocketAxis provides stakeholders with a percentage of the revenue generated from sales, transactions, or other monetization channels. This ongoing royalty can be tied to the performance of the project, ensuring that creators or investors benefit as the project succeeds.

In addition to regular revenue sharing, RocketAxis may offer performance-based bonuses to incentivize stakeholders further. These bonuses are typically linked to specific financial or operational milestones, such as achieving a certain revenue threshold, reaching a target number of token sales, or expanding the project’s community engagement.

RocketAxis ensures complete transparency in the distribution of revenues. Stakeholders have access to detailed reports that outline the project’s financial performance, revenue generation, and any deductions that may apply (e.g., fees, operational costs). These reports are generated using automated systems and are made available to stakeholders regularly to maintain clarity and trust.

Suppose RocketAxis partners with a popular NFT creator to tokenize their collection. The agreement might specify that RocketAxis will pay the creator $100,000 upfront for the license to use the artwork in Web3 applications. In addition, the creator would receive 10% of all revenues from secondary market sales of the NFTs, along with a 5% bonus if the total revenue from NFT sales exceeds $5 million.

RocketAxis ensures that its revenue split arrangements are fair and reasonable, taking into account the contributions and risks of each party. For example, a tokenized project that relies heavily on community engagement and marketing may allocate a higher percentage of revenue to the platform responsible for community management and promotion.

6.2 Revenue Sharing

Revenue sharing is a core principle of RocketAxis’s investment and collaboration model. When working with partners, creators, or investors, the firm ensures that all parties receive a fair share of the revenue generated from the projects undertaken. RocketAxis believes that transparent and well-structured revenue-sharing models foster trust and incentivize long-term collaboration.

6.3 Responsibilities of Stakeholders

The success of any project depends on the active participation and collaboration of all stakeholders involved. RocketAxis outlines clear responsibilities for its partners, investors, and collaborators to ensure that all parties are aligned and working towards common goals. These responsibilities are defined in the terms of engagement and are critical to maintaining the integrity and smooth operation of RocketAxis’s ventures.

Example Scenarios for Licensing Agreements

General Responsibilities of Stakeholders

All partners and stakeholders are expected to comply with applicable local, regional, and international laws and regulations. This includes adhering to Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). RocketAxis ensures that its stakeholders are informed about their legal obligations and provides guidance to ensure full compliance.

Investors and partners are responsible for meeting their financial obligations as outlined in the engagement agreements. This could include capital investments, resource allocation, or the provision of intellectual property for tokenization. Stakeholders are required to maintain transparency regarding their financial contributions and ensure that payments are made on time to avoid project delays or complications.

Partners and stakeholders are encouraged to be actively involved in the decision-making process. Whether it's choosing the direction of a project, evaluating new opportunities, or making adjustments to revenue models, RocketAxis believes that collaboration is key to success. Stakeholders are expected to participate in regular meetings, provide feedback, and contribute their expertise to ensure that all decisions are made in the best interest of the project.

All stakeholders must ensure that any confidential information shared by RocketAxis, including trade secrets, business strategies, and client data, is protected. RocketAxis implements strict confidentiality agreements that ensure sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized parties.

For projects that involve community-driven efforts, such as token launches or NFT drops, stakeholders are expected to engage with the community and support marketing efforts. This may include creating content, promoting the project on social media, and building relationships with key influencers and users in the Web3 ecosystem.
