1989 Policy

Proceeds of a conception, after deductions for expenses, calculated as 20% of the gross income from the conception, is defined as "net income."

Inventor’s Share. The inventor’s share is computed on the basis of the cumulative income from any one invention. When net income from the conception is $100,000 or less, the inventor’s share will be 50% of that income. When net income from the conception exceeds $100,000, the inventor’s share will be 50% of the first $100,000 and 25% of the excess. The inventor’s share will not be altered when affiliation with the University is terminated.

Inventor’s Research Activities. Twenty-five percent of net income from the conception will be allocated to the inventor’s research activities or to any other proper and specific purposes of the University designated by the inventor.

If the amount allocated to the inventor's research exceeds $500,000, then the University will receive the excess.
