1991 Policy
Texas A&M Invetions & Patents (1991)
All monetary proceeds from commercialization of System-owned inventions, including royalties, equity interests, and dividends are the property of the System. Income received by the System from commercialization of an invention will be distributed as follows:
Step 1 Deduct the costs of obtaining legal protection for the invention to arrive at "adjusted income" (when such costs are not provided from other sources). When there is no adjusted income after deduction of costs, see Guaranteed Minimum to Inventor(s) below.
Step 2 Deduct fifteen percent (15%) from adjusted income. This deduction is directed toward covering the expenses (excluding patent expenses) for administering the System Intellectual Property Office.
Step 3 Distribute the remaining adjusted income as follows:
- Fifty percent (50%) to the inventor. In case of multiple inventorship, the inventors will mutually agree among themselves on the distribution of this portion of the income. (See Guaranteed Minimum to Inventor(s), below.)
- Fifty percent (50%) to the System component.
