Let's Talk Financials: Royalties & Distribution of Income

This is a recorded session from 2017's Agreeement Maintenance Course.Each technology transfer office has its own established policies and procedures for distributing licensing or royalty income. Taking care of this administrative task in an accurate, consistent, and timely manner may not always generate accolades from recipients of the income but failure to distribute properly will likely generate unfavorable responses. This session will demonstrate the importance of understanding the terms and status of agreements, understanding royalty distribution policies, communicating with royalty participants, establishing a standard royalty distribution process, and avoiding obstacles while completing the distribution. This group will discuss the framework as well as provide useful tools that can help technology transfer professionals smoothly carry out this important task.
