When your TTO is dealing with IP having multiple inventors, splitting revenue — whether it be royalties, license and option fees, or equity — can be a complicated and occasionally contentious process.  And when the splits involve more than one institution or a license incorporating multiple inventions, it’s even trickier. While there are no foolproof strategies to eliminate future disputes or litigation over revenue splits, there are ways to minimize the risks while also demonstrating to inventors that your main goal is to be fair to everyone involved.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Dr. Terry Bray, Executive Director of Licensing, Physical Sciences and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Center for Innovation, University of Pennsylvania for this informative program.

Dr. Bray will cover common structures and scenarios for how inventor revenue shares are split, who is eligible to share revenues, and resolving disputes when they arise.  You’ll learn the pros and cons of different approaches to splitting revenues between inventors and discover strategies for refining your institution’s policies on this topic.
