University of Colorado

The University of Colorado's royalty sharing policy was most recently adopted in 2003. An email from a representative of the University of Colorado Technology Transfer Office stated that the historical policies, particularly with respect to the inventors' share, remained largely the same prior to 2003.

Policy Excerpts

2003 Policy

University of Colorado IP Policy

The 2003 Policy was amended in 2006 but did not change the royalty share for inventors.

The Technology Transfer Office agrees to share and distribute net receipts received from the commercialization of any discovery developed under the terms of an agreement as follows:

• 25 percent to discoverer(s) personally;
• 25 percent to a University campus account for support of discoverer's(s') research;
• 25 percent to an account for the benefit of the University; and
• 25 percent to the Campus Chancellor, which will be directed to research with technology transfer potential and distributed on a percentage basis as determined at each individual campus.

Policy Prior to 2003

The policy prior to January 16, 2003, was largely similar to the current 2003 policy. One notable difference was that the Technology Transfer Office took an additional 4% administrative fee off the top before distributing.
