If income is received by the university from any patent or copyright, all costs of procuring, developing, and administering such patent or copyright shall first be paid from such income. All income in excess of such expenses shall be shared equally by the inventor/author and the university, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the university uses a marketing or management firm or other intermediary in procuring a patent, copyright, or license, the distribution of income/royalties shall be established by an agreement between the university and the intermediary firm. After all expenses have been paid, including those paid to any marketing or management firm or other intermediary, the income will be evenly divided between the university and the inventor/author.
