When you want to enter into a licensing agreement, it's rare that royalty terms are nonnegotiable. As a practical matter, just about everything is negotiable if both sides want something from the other in a deal. Also, don't take the other party's word that the royalty calculation method is "standard" so you should accept it. For example, it's common for some licensees to claim it's industry practice to determine the amount of royalties based on net profits....
