Perhaps 10% is too high- maybe 5% or even 1% would be fair. I really don't know.

But what if the company uses 11 inventions, and the Royalty rate is 10%? Then that means the company will be giving out 110% of the profit increase. Unless you first divide the profit increase by 11, and give 10% of 1/11 to each inventor.

It doesn't matter- that's how royalties work, and the company has to decide if it's worth it.

But, in the case of an idea which increases the profits at a company, how do you decide how much the profit increase was due to the idea, rather than other factors?

That makes sense to me. Say 10%?
