Question: How does your university handle faculty and student-led

  • 1.  Question: How does your university handle faculty and student-led

    Hi all,

    I seek your input as we are just starting a NSF I-Corps site at American University and are dealing with our first student-led patents (with faculty) from these efforts. I already have a dropbox of tech transfer policies from many universities, but they do not always address revenues vs equity. I am happy to share the compilation of answers to these questions as well as the dropbox of tech transfer policies with the list-serve once I gather responses:

     

    Questions: If faculty and students are named on a patent, how does your university handle potential revenue? For example, does your university set revenue percentages for certain dollar amounts? Are these negotiable on a case-by-case basis? Does your university insist on a revenue payout immediately after first sales, or only once the venture becomes profitable? (That is, your university allows ventures to invest the revenues.)

     

    Thanks so much!
    Kind regards,
    Siri
