Revenue Distribution
What happens to the revenue from your successful invention? UF follows a revenue sharing arrangement whereby the inventor, his program, department, college and the University share in the proceeds. This arrangement has worked well over the years to reward the inventor while also supporting further research in the University. Net income (gross royalties minus the direct cost of patenting, licensing, legal and other related expenses) resulting from the inventions to which the Research Foundation takes title is divided as follows:
For net adjusted income up to $500,000
- 40% individual creator(s)
- 10% program(s)
- 7.5% creator(s)'s department
- 7.5% creator(s)'s college
- 35% RGP or UFRF
For net adjusted income over $500,000
- 25% individual creator(s)
- 10% program(s)
- 10% creator(s)'s department
- 10% creator(s)'s college
- 45% RGP or UFRF
