IIA Impact on Inventor Distribution Setup in Sophia

IIA IMPACT ON INVENTOR DISTRIBUTION SET UP IN SOPHIA

Since the Inter-Institutional Agreement dictates the split between ÃÛÌÒ½´and another Institution, the Inventor Distribution of royalties is defined by the other Institution for its inventors and by ÃÛÌÒ½´for its own inventors.

In Sophia , the distribution attributed to ÃÛÌÒ½´inventors must add up to 100% and the distribution to the external inventors from the other institution is set to 0% in Sophia because ÃÛÌÒ½´does not dictate the percentage distribution for the inventors associated with the other institution.

The distribution table, below, illustrates how the ÃÛÌÒ½´inventor distribution adds up to 100%, independently of whatever the external Institution distribution is set defined.
