The most underrated skill in licensing standard essential patents?

For me, it’s this:

Understanding the innovation life cycle.

The parties on both sides of the negotiation table need to share the common understanding that innovation needs fair compensation.

Without fair returns, there is no incentive to innovate for the patent owner.

If there is no innovation, there will be no innovative products.

With a too high royalty burden, there is no incentive to manufacture products for the implementer.

If there are no products, there are no royalties. 

And we are back to square one: 

--> no royalties, no innovation --> no innovation, no products --> no products, no royalties... You get the point.

Licensing is not a “good vs. evil” game between patent owners and implementers.

It works best when both sides see it as a joint effort, driving innovation, progress, and ultimately better products.

After all, both sides of the negotiation table want the same thing:

Great products built on the best available technology for consumers to enjoy.

That’s why I believe the most underrated skill in licensing is...

EMPATHY.

The desire and ability to understand the other side, build human connection, and ultimately create trust.

Trust will lead to reasonable expectations on both sides.  

And that leads to deals.

innovation --> products --> royalties --> innovation etc.

See, we solved it. 

Now we just need to find the right price and we are done.

P.P.S.: I seriously consider getting this made by some talented knitting expert on Etsy or the like. Recommendations anyone?
