  2. Features of Technology trade in Japan • Surplus of “royalties and license fees” has been increasing reflecting increasing surplus in “royalties.” • In contrast with “royalties,” “license fees” are consistently deficit reflecting payments of fees for computer software. Figure 1: Royalties and License Fees

  3. Features of Technology trade in JapanPayment & Receipts of Royalties by industry • Major part of surplus in “royalties” are those related to transport equipment, which account for more than 90 percent of the surplus. Figure 2: Payments and Receipts of Royalties by Industry

  4. Features of Technology trade in Japan • The large receipts of motor vehicle-related royalties due to the industry's high overseas production ratio. • The expansion of overseas production by Japanese motor vehicle companies is the major contributor to the increase in the overall surplus. Table 1: Overseas Production Ratios (By Industry)

  5. Features of Technology trade in Japan • One of the features of motor vehicle-related receipts of royalties is that intra-firm transactions (between parent companies and their subsidiaries) account for a major portion. Table 2: Technology Exports and Imports (By Industry)

  6. Features of Technology trade in Japan • Receipt of “royalties” by industries closely linked with Japanese enterprises’ direct investment. Figure 3: Direct Investment Assets by Region at Year-End

  7. Features of Technology trade in Japan Features of Receipt of “Royalties" by Region • Increasing receipt of “royalties” from BRICs countries reflecting increasing investment to those countries. Figure 4: The Regional Composition of Royalties 2004 2008

  11. Impacts of Financial Crisis • Receipt of “royalties” decreased significantly after the September 2008. Figure 8: Royalties and License Fees (from September to August)

  12. Impacts of Financial Crisis • By industry, decrease in receipts of motor vehicle-related royalties was outstanding, due to decline in global consumption particularly for automobiles. Figure 9: Payments and Receipts of Royalties by Industry(from September to August)
