Charles, I did a summary of institutions who have posted their Intellectual
Property policies on the NCURA web page. It gave a good ballpark. I'll send
that summary to you directly, but wanted to ask those institutions and
others how the institutional share is split. The policies indicate that
between 50% and 70% of revenue after expenses went to the institution. How
much goes to a research fund, the college, the general fund, etc?  Thanks.
