A reasonable royalty calculation often implicates the infringing product's revenues (the "royalty base"). The smallest saleable patent-practicing unit ("SSPPU") is a legal doctrine that restricts the royalty base that a patent holder can use in its reasonable royalty calculation.

Federal courts have recognized that patent holders are usually not entitled to the total revenues associated with a patent-practicing end product. By extension, they are wary of patent holders’ attempts to use total revenues as the royalty base, even if the patent holder applies a discount (or “royalty rate”) to adjust for the value of the patent. Such an approach can confuse juries and lead to outsized royalty awards.
