Policy Excerpts

Current Policy

Where income is derived from such licensing, the inventor or inventors, collectively, will receive 25% of the income received by the Institute after the deduction of 1) unreimbursed external expenses associated with obtaining, maintaining, licensing and/or enforcing the patent or rights associated with the invention; and 2) the share of the income owed by Caltech to a third party pursuant to an income-sharing agreement between Caltech and the third party. In the event of multiple inventions in a license agreement, each inventor shall receive a proportion of that income according to Caltech internal procedures.

1993 and 1995 Policy

Prior to 1994, Caltech shared 15% of patent licensing revenues with inventors, with the remaining 85% going to university’s general budget; in July 1994, that was changed so that 25% went to inventors, 75% to the university.
