Policy Excerpts
Current Policy
If the Technology Transfer Office determines that Dartmouth College wishes to sponsor development of the technology, it will open an account to which expenses associated with its subsequent efforts are charged. Such expenses will include all associated invoiced costs such as legal and patent filing fees, plus an allowance for the institutional effort involved in patent preparation, license negotiation, and such. This allowance will be 15% of gross revenues received on any license agreement.
Revenues received will first be used to recover expenses accumulated in the account associated with that particular technology. Expenses include the Technology Transfer Office administrative fee (normally 15% of revenue); expenses to prosecute and maintain a patent; and legal expenses for review/advice of Intellectual Property and agreements. Following recovery of expenses net revenues will be split 50% to the College and 50% to the originator(s). The 50% retained by the College will be divided as follows:
20% to the Provost's Office 40% to the originator’s Dean’s Office 25% to the originator’s department 15% to the originator’s laboratory
1991 Policy
