Procedures
University Inventors Share in Invention-related Income
Connecticut State Law, which states that the University owns all
inventions developed by its employees, requires the University to share at
least twenty percents of the net invention-related income with
Employee-Inventors.
Currently, such invention-related income is allocated according to the
following formula:
| 33 1/3% |
to the Inventor(s) as personal income (Multiple Inventors share
the income). |
| 33 1/3% |
to be further subdivided as follows: |
| |
*50% |
to the Inventor(s)’ research program to be administered through an
account set up by Grants and Contracts. (This allocation is only available
to Inventor(s) having an active research program at the University). |
| |
*30% |
to the Inventor(s)’ primary academic unit (department) or other
administrative unit to be administered by the Director or Department Head. |
| |
*20% |
to the Inventor(s)’ school or college to be administered by the
Dean. |
| 33 1/3% |
to the University of Connecticut. |

Income Formula was developed in the 1988 by the University-Corporate
Relations Policy Advisory Committee.
