Technology Transfer Revenue Distribution Policy
To describe the protocol for distributing revenue as a result of technology transfer.
In accordance with the Regents' Intellectual Property policy, the Distribution Formula will be applied when any revenue is obtained by or on behalf of the University of Kansas from the development or assignment of any patent or from royalties, license fees or other charges based on any patent or copyrightable software.

Founder's equity
Receipt of Founder's equity by an inventor and return of revenue from licensing University of Kansas technology functionally separates the risk of being a founder in the start-up company from the reward of being an inventor. An inventor who participates in founding a company may receive Founder's equity and shall also receive the inventor's share of revenue from licensing University of Kansas technology to that company.
