Policy Excerpts

1990 Policy Excerpt

1990 Intellectual Property Policy

Sharing of Royalties

Where the University has an equity position in an intellectual property, the inventor(s) or author(s) and the University will share equally in any income received by or on behalf of the University from royalties, front-end payments, or incentives, after any expenses incurred by or on behalf of the University to protect, market or develop the intellectual property have been repaid to the University. In this context the "University" shall be understood to include all those units (departments, centers, etc.) which have contributed materially towards development of the intellectual property. The University share of royalties or other income shall be divided commensurate with involvement of the University units during development. In usual practice, division of the University share shall follow recommendations of the Committee to the Provost and shall typically include an assignment to the employee's primary unit (e.g., departments, centers, etc.) equal to at least 10% of the total income as defined above. The remaining portion of the University share shall be used to maintain an environment supportive of employee activities in development of intellectual properties.

Payments received by the University or its agents for an intellectual property that is not yet protected by patent or copyright shall also be distributed in accordance with this policy.
