Stanford Program Sells Inventions to Concerns
Stanford University runs a Patent Development Program that since 1968 has earned $130,000 in advance from licensed inventions by faculty, students, and staff. The program has explored 130 ideas, with 40 discarded for marketing or production issues. Profits are shared: Stanford takes 15 percent, with the inventor, the inventor's department, and the university each receiving a third. Plans include marketing via Business School students who will earn credits and a share of profits. Read about a three dimensional ball rolling game and a premature baby incubator project.
