Last May, Emory adopted a newly revised policy on the ownership of intellectual property developed at Emory and the disbursal of revenues from their marketing. According to the earlier policy, 40 percent of the net income went to the inventor, 20 percent to support the inventor’s research, and the remaining 40 percent went back to the university for research and education. The new policy is a much more complex affair, reflecting the increased pressure on institutions to generate income from inventions developed within their walls. The chart below shows how funds are now distributed.
