Cal. Code Regs. tit. 17 § 100308

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 100308 - Revenue Sharing
(a) Grantee organizations shall share a fraction of any net revenues with the inventor(s) in accordance with their established policies. Net revenues are defined as gross revenues minus the direct costs incurred in the generation and protection of the patents from which the revenues are received.
(b) The grantee organization may retain a threshold amount of its share (after payments to inventors) of any net revenues received under a license agreement or agreements of any CIRM-funded patented invention(s). Thereafter, the grantee organization shall pay 25% of its share after payments to inventors of such net revenues to the State of California for deposit into the State's General Fund unless such action violates any federal law. The threshold amount is $500,000 (in the aggregate) multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items (San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose; 1982-84=100) as prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor and published for the month of February, 2006, and the numerator of which is such Index published for the month in which the grant award is accepted by the grantee.
(c) If funding sources in addition to CIRM were used in the creation of a CIRM-funded patented invention, the return to the State of California of any resultant revenues shall be proportionate to the support provided by CIRM for the discovery of the invention.
(d) Grantees shall apply the grantee organization's share of any revenues earned as a result of CIRM-funded patented inventions to the support of scientific research or education.
