2011 Patent Policy Excerpt

Allocation of Income from Technology Net income from the transfer or licensing of technology will be allocated according to the percentages in the following schedule. The intent of this schedule is that small discoveries will primarily aid Inventors and Creators and their research efforts, while large inventions will aid the school proportionally more.

*Split between Department and Center (for total share of 20%) and will be determined and specified in each new licensing agreement based on the relative support provided to enable the intellectual property.

For multiple co-inventors/creators, the shares will be apportioned consistent with this schedule.

The Inventor’s or Creator’s share shall be paid directly to the Inventor. Funds designated for departments and schools are to be used primarily for funding research by the faculty.

In exceptional circumstances with the approval of the appropriate Dean, and the Provost or the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, the royalty split for technology may be adjusted subject to negotiations between the University and the Inventor and Creator.
