Revenue Sharing From Licensing
The revenue from successful licensing by Isis, whether lump sums or royalties, from option, licence, or assignment agreements, is:
- first subject to repayment of external patenting (filing, searching etc) and legal costs;
- Isis then retains 30% as a contribution towards its ongoing costs on this and other patents;
- the remainder, i.e. 70% of the net licence income, is then passed on to the University for distribution as follows (See University Council Regulations 7 of 2002):
| Total Net Revenue | Inventor(s) Total | General Fund | Department | Isis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
