Agreed; I&#x27;m a researcher at an institution where the researchers get 1&#x2F;3rd (split among all the patent authors). That fraction is okay with me. We get a huge boost from having access to the university community and the department&#x27;s resources.<p>The only annoyance is that the 1&#x2F;3rd comes from the University&#x27;s profits, not revenue. The costs of the patent application, including the tech-transfer office salaries, are subtracted first.
