Royalty Income

The distribution of royalty income is based on the patent policy that was in effect when you joined the University of California.

If you joined on or after October, 1 1997, the net income available for distribution is the gross income less any direct case related expenses. The net income is divided with 35% going to the inventors, 15% to research allocation, and 50% to the general campus/lab fund.

If you joined before October, 1 1997, the net income available for distribution is the gross income less 15% for administrative costs and any direct case related expenses. The net income is then divided with 50% going to the inventors, and 50% to the general campus/lab fund.
