In accordance with the Regents' Intellectual Property policy,
the Distribution Formula will be applied when any revenue is
obtained by or on behalf of the University of Kansas from the
development or assignment of any patent or from royalties, license
fees or other charges based on any patent or copyrightable software.
Revenue sharing shall begin only after costs are recouped.
Revenue distribution formula
| 33 1/3% |
Inventor(s) |
| 33 1/3% |
KU Center for Research |
| 33 1/3% |
Department/Center:
67% retained as Departmental/Center general funds
33% returned to the Inventor to a Research Account designated for
the inventor's research expenses. At the discretion of the
Chair or Director, more than 33% of the Department/Center share may
be returned to the Inventor for Inventor research expenses. Upon
resignation or termination of employment of the Inventor from the
University of Kansas, this share will revert to Departmental/Center
general funds |
Founder's equity
Receipt of Founder's equity by an inventor and return of revenue
from licensing University of Kansas technology functionally separates
the risk of being a founder in the start-up company from the
reward of being an inventor. An inventor who participates in
founding a company may receive Founder's equity and shall also
receive the inventor's share of revenue from licensing University
of Kansas technology to that company.
