"royalties from a recently announced non-exclusive license to Vertical Power Delivery"

A non-exclusive license is a legal permission that lets a company use intellectual property (like technology, a trademark, or a patent) while the owner can grant the same right to others. For investors, it matters because it affects revenue potential and competition: non-exclusive deals can broaden market reach and create steady licensing income, but they typically offer lower pricing power and less control than an exclusive arrangement—like renting out copies of a key recipe to multiple restaurants.

royalty rate financial

"it is still possible to secure a license at an early stage of escalation with a low royalty rate"

A royalty rate is the percentage or fixed fee a company pays the owner of an asset—such as a patent, trademark, mineral right or copyrighted work—each time it sells products or uses that asset. Think of it like rent or a commission the asset owner charges for use; higher rates reduce the user company’s profit on those sales and can materially affect cash flow, margins and valuation, so investors watch them to gauge future profitability and risk.

ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 21, 2026, Vicor raised its Q3 sequential growth guidance from nearly 10% to more than 20% in view of royalties from a recently announced non-exclusive license to Vertical Power Delivery (VPD).

Commenting on industry trends, CEO Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: "Among OEMs and hyperscalers, four leading companies have secured licenses to power system technology pioneered and patented by Vicor. Unlicensed hyperscalers first reached out after their computing systems were banned from importation because of infringing NBMs; and, upon recognition that computing systems using VPD could also be banned. Since the first patent to VPD was only recently asserted, it is still possible to secure a license at an early stage of escalation with a low royalty rate."

“Suppliers selling otherwise infringing power modules to licensed OEMs and hyperscalers contribute to scalability in an ecosystem requiring multi-source supply chains. Responsible companies, respecting the patent rights of innovators, will benefit from expanded market opportunities enabled by Vicor’s power system technology.”

“Suppliers that copy innovators and disregard their patent rights will continue to cause supply disruption to their customers and be liable for monetary damages to Vicor. They may also be excluded from the market opportunity to supply power systems covered by Vicor patents.”
