In the case of university co-inventors, this distribution will be shared

One-third (33.3 percent) will be divided as follows:

(a) 60 percent to the inventor's research budget, sub-unit (typically the inventor's department, school, section, or center) and university unit(typically the inventor's college) in a manner to be determined by the dean of the unit (or, for research centers in the Research Division, the Vice Provost for Research),

(b) 40 percent to the university for general research support. One-third (33.3 percent) to the university to provide CCTEC with operating funds to cover the cost of service provided to the university with regard to intellectual property matters and particularly to cover direct costs, where license revenue or other cost recovery has not been achieved.
