Revenue return downstream
University will usually:
• recover direct costs
• distribute under internal revenue share policy
• university/school/contributors
Most technology transfer offices are a service function not a revenue generator

applications
About 25-30% of disclosures are licensed
Not all disclosures are patented but are still licensable
Volume of disclosures depend on the size of the university
and its staff complement in the TTO
