Guidelines - Royalty/Equity Distribution

Guidelines List | Forms | Procedures

As per RP-4.4.2 Board of Regents Patent and Technology Transfer Policy, the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is responsible for allocating non-inventor technology transfer proceeds according to its individual campus policy. These non-inventor proceeds consist of two thirds of the royalties and equity received in return for use of University owned intellectual property rights. Furthermore, Regents Policy no longer requires that a share of proceeds be distributed to the academic/administrative units of inventors. In order to best utilize non-inventor proceeds and to serve the objectives of the Regents Policy, UNMC shall allocate non-inventor proceeds on a case by case basis as determined by the Committee for Proceed Distribution. Those academic/administrative units having a connection to proceeds at issue shall participate to provide the Committee with information addressing their support of the underlying technology.
