5 Message from the Executive Director The travails of the California state budget and its impact on the University bring into sharp focus the important role UC plays in supporting our technology-centric business environment. From agriculture to aerospace, knowledge created by UC s research enterprise helps to ensure that our state remains a leader in all aspects of its business endeavors. Technology transfer from around the UC system plays a vital part in our efforts by making the latest patentable inventions available to business. This past year, we inaugurated the first systemwide Proof of Concept Grant program in association with the Discovery Grant Program to fund key experiments to demonstrate the commercial viability of inventions in our portfolio. Based on experience at other universities, we predict that this funding will lead to business relationships that will translate these ideas into products and services. UC s portfolio of active inventions increased by 4.6% to 10,341, the number of U.S. patents owned by UC increased by 2.6% to 3,900, and the number of active license agreements increased 6.1% to 2,104. The number of inventions newly covered by a utility license, option, or letter of intent during the fiscal year (including new inventions added to existing agreements) increased by 8.4% over the number covered during the previous fiscal year. Total income from technology transfer (net of legal settlements) available for distributions to inventors and the University reached a record level of $164.6 million this year, an increase of $71.8 million over the previous year. This record total included $86.2 million derived from a prepayment of future royalty income for anti-cancer drugs from UC Berkeley. This Berkeley-based anti-cancer drug points out an important reality of technology transfer: it can take many years and many twists and turns in the life of a business for our early stage inventions to make it to the market. This potential life-extending product started with a disclosure in 1996 and received FDA approval 15 years later in Technology transfer s most important role is to move as many ideas as possible out of the lab so that business can invest their capital in search of successful products that can fully realize the public benefits of UC research. The Berkeley example also illustrates another important role that UC plays: helping to launch and foster startup companies based on UC inventions. The original license to the underlying Berkeley invention was to a small company which developed the technology to the point that it was acquired by a more established company. The established company was subsequently acquired by a large pharmaceutical company, principally because of the potential for the final product. In fiscal year 2011, 58 startup companies were founded on UC technologies, including 44 companies based in California. We can t predict their fate at this early stage, but we are confident that many will become successful, and some may even lay the foundation for new industries that, as experience in other sectors shows, will remain close to the site of their origin in California. Sincerely, William Tucker Executive Director, Innovation Alliances and Services 3

7 Technology Transfer Activity and Financial Information Introduction This document reports technology transfer activity and associated financial results arising under the University of California s Patent Policy for fiscal year 2011 (FY11). UC s technology transfer program, administered by the offices listed on the right, operates under a model of distributed responsibilities and authorities that balances activities carried out by the central UC Office of the President (UCOP) with activities carried out by offices at the individual UC campuses and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Laboratory managed by the University. Under this distributed approach, the campuses and LBNL develop and shape technology licensing programs to fit their unique needs as put forth in memoranda of understanding negotiated with UCOP. In all instances, UCOP retains responsibility for certain functions, such as policy development and guidance, legal oversight, legislative analysis, information management, and a variety of other services in support of the overall program. UCOP s activities are coordinated by the Innovation Alliances and Services (IAS) unit within UCOP s Office of Research and Graduate Studies. Although LBNL manages most of its own inventions, IAS oversees a small portfolio of older inventions from LBNL and another DOE Laboratory historically associated with UC, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Most of these cases have co-inventors from the UC campuses. This Annual Report covers two distinct technology portfolios: the UC campus portfolio and the LBNL portfolio. Information relating to these two portfolios is reported separately because certain aspects of technology transfer are different at LBNL as compared to the rest of the University. These differences include a reporting period for LBNL that covers a fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, as compared to June 30, 2011, for the rest of the University. Also, while LBNL manages intellectual property in a way that is generally consistent with the principles and practices of the rest of UC, there are some important operational differences, such as LBNL s greater use of in-house patent attorneys. A summary of technology transfer activity and associated financial results for both portfolios can be found in Exhibits 28 through 33.

The number of inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices that were disclosed during the fiscal year, divided by a five-year running average of the research expenditures data reported annually to the National Science Foundation/Division of Science Resources Statistics for its Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges. Five-year running averages are calculated as the sum of the expenditures for the fiscal year and the four preceding fiscal years, divided by five. Invention Reporting During the 12-month period ending June 30, 2011, 1,581 inventions were disclosed by faculty and researchers at the 10 UC campuses; an increase of 1.0% over the number of inventions reported in FY10 (Exhibit 1). As shown in Exhibit 2, the number of disclosures relative to research expenditures has remained stable over time, currently at around 3.2 invention disclosures per $10 million in research expenditures. UC Irvine increased its new disclosures by 53 inventions (from 125 in FY10 to 178 in FY11). Other campuses with increases included UC Berkeley, with an increase of 29 inventions (from 142 in FY10 to 171 in FY11); UC Riverside, with an increase of 20 inventions (from 54 to 74); UC Santa Cruz, with an increase of 28 inventions (from 31 to 59); UC San Diego, with an increase of 21 inventions (from 367 to 388); and UC San Francisco, with an increase of 21 inventions (from 152 to 173).

See Exhibit 32 for LBNL s patent activity. 2. An invention is counted only one time in the First Foreign Filings category regardless of the number of countries in which foreign patent protection is sought. 1. U.S. patents issued related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices. See Exhibit 32 for LBNL s U.S. patents issued. Patent Activity UC has received more U.S. patents than any other university in the world. A patent is a form of legal protection granted by the U.S. or a foreign government that gives a patent holder the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for a defined period of time, generally 20 years from the date the patent application is first filed. Both U.S. and foreign patent rights often must be pursued for an invention in order to maximize the likelihood of successful commercialization. Acquiring adequate patent coverage for all aspects of a new technology may require more than one patent filing for a given invention. Often, a first filing in the U.S. takes the form of a provisional application, a type of filing which preserves U.S. patent rights and secures the benefits of an early filing date for a period of 12 months at a relatively low cost as compared to the cost of filing a regular application. A provisional filing is likely to be made during the time period when the invention is being marketed to potential licensees. Once a license agreement is in place, the licensee usually bears the cost of seeking and maintaining patent protection. Secondary filings frequently lead to the issuance of multiple patents related to a single invention. In addition to being needed for converting a provisional filing into a regular filing, secondary filings are often necessary in order to cover all aspects of the invention and to secure the broadest possible patent protection for it, and may include the filing of divisional applications and of continuation applications where new matter is added. Several years will elapse between a filing and the issuance of a patent by the patent office. 8 Innovation Alliances and Services

Foreign patents issued increased by 10.3% from 330 in FY10. Exhibit 6 shows the number of U.S. patents issued in the past five years for campus inventions, with the number of U.S. patents issued increasing 15.5% (from 297 to 343) in FY11 as compared to FY10. for LBNL inventions, as compared to 27 U.S. patents issued for LBNL inventions in FY10. At the end of FY11, there were 3,900 active U.S. and 3,729 active foreign patents in the systemwide portfolio for its campus inventions (Exhibit 7). The number of U.S. patents in each campus portfolio is presented in Exhibit 8. UC Merced, which received its first invention disclosure in FY06, had patents issued for its inventions for the first time in FY11. LBNL s patent activity is shown in Exhibit 32. U.S. patent filings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, increased by 5.0% over FY10, from 141 to 148. These included 66 first filings, all of which were provisional filings; and 82 secondary filings, of which two were provisional filings.

Utility licenses, options and letters of intent issued during the fiscal year related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices. 2. Sum of utility licenses, options, and letters of intent issued during the fiscal year and the nine preceding fiscal years, divided by 10. Licensing and Related Activity A license agreement grants a licensee access to a University invention in exchange for the licensee s commitment to further develop and commercialize the invention and to assist UC in gaining patent protection for the invention, often in multiple countries. The provisions of a license define the rights and responsibilities of the two parties. In managing these license agreements, UC must collect monies when due and monitor progress to ensure that the licensees exercise due diligence in developing inventions toward commercial application. Utility licenses generally cover useful processes, machines, manufactured items, or compositions of matter protected by utility patents, and are often licensed exclusively. In a typical utility license agreement, UC grants to a licensee access to an early stage invention that is protected by a UC patent or patent application. In other instances, such licenses grant property rights to materials developed by UC. In exchange, the licensee makes a commitment to commercialize the invention and to pay UC agreed-upon fees, including reimbursement of patent expenses and royalty payments when products reach the marketplace. The specific terms of the agreement are determined through negotiations. In contrast, plant licenses cover sexually and asexually reproduced plant varieties, and most are licensed non-exclusively to multiple growers and distributors worldwide. UC works closely with some of its foreign plant licensees to explore opportunities for gaining intellectual property protection and commercializing selected strawberry and other plant cultivars in countries where such intellectual property rights had not been available previously. 10 Innovation Alliances and Services

13 Exhibit 11: Utility Agreements Issued Per $10 Million Research Expenditures FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 1. The number of utility licenses, options and letters of intent issued during the fiscal year related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices, divided by a five-year running average of the research expenditures data reported annually to the National Science Foundation/Division of Science Resources Statistics for its Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges. Five-year running averages are calculated as the sum of the expenditures for the fiscal year and the four preceding fiscal years, divided by five. For utility inventions, certain other shorter-term agreements are sometimes made prior to licensing. A secrecy agreement is used in conjunction with marketing and affords a potential licensee access to confidential information that assists the company in determining if it has an interest in pursuing a license for a given technology. In FY11, UC entered into 598 secrecy agreements for its campus inventions (LBNL entered into 94 secrecy agreements during its fiscal year). Exhibit 9 shows licensing activity for campus inventions in FY11. With regard to agreements, UC entered into 451 new licenses and related technology transfer agreements, including 217 utility licenses, 37 plant licenses, 38 options and 159 letters of intent. During its fiscal year, LBNL entered into five utility license agreements and 10 option agreements (Exhibit 32). A letter of intent is a type of agreement generally used to confirm a company s intent to negotiate a license and often commits a company to pay certain fees or patent costs while negotiations are underway. Option agreements, playing a similar role to letters of intent, offer a more detailed and formal commitment to protect a potential licensee s interest in an invention while the potential licensee performs in-depth technical or marketing research.

Total active utility licenses at year-end related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices. Overall, the number of utility agreements (utility licenses, options and letters of intent) issued reached a new all-time record, increasing from 339 in FY10 to 414 in FY11 (Exhibit 10). The number of utility agreements issued in recent years has remained above their 10-year running averages. The proportion of licenses among these utility agreements increased from 42% in FY10 to 52% in FY11, while the other categories of utility agreements declined. As shown in Exhibit 11, the number of utility agreements relative to research expenditures reversed a recent declining trend, increasing from 0.71 utility agreements per $10 million in research expenditures in FY10 to 0.83 in FY11. Exhibit 12 shows the five-year trend in the number of utility licenses issued, with the 217 utility licenses issued in FY11 representing a 52.8% increase over FY10. Of these 217 utility licenses, 102 were exclusive licenses and 115 were nonexclusive. The proportion of exclusive utility licenses among all utility licenses issued remained unchanged from its FY10 value of 53% in FY11. As of June 30, 2011, the systemwide portfolio (excluding LBNL) totaled 2,104 active licenses, an increase of 6.1% over the total at the close of FY10. The LBNL portfolio totaled 22 licenses as of September 30, Innovation Alliances and Services

Total number of inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices that are subject to one or more utility licenses, options or letters of intent as of the close of the fiscal year. Inventions associated with multiple utility agreements are counted only once in this exhibit. Although a new invention is typically the subject of a new agreement when there is commercial interest in it, various related inventions can be the subject of one agreement and new inventions can also be added to existing agreements. In particular, since UC inventors often make follow-on inventions that are closely related to their earlier work, it is common for existing utility licenses and options to be amended in order to incorporate these follow-on inventions. In FY11, new or amended utility licenses covered 385 campus inventions, while new or amended options covered 114 campus inventions (Exhibit 16). As shown in Exhibit 17, the total number of campus inventions covered under utility agreements (including licenses, options and letters of intent) at the close of the fiscal year was 2,552, a decrease of 3.6% from the close of FY10. Exhibit 18 shows the campus distribution of these covered inventions. 14 Innovation Alliances and Services

Year of startup company formation based on the execution date of the first license, option or letter of intent granting rights to a UC invention managed by IAS or by a campus office. Prior to FY10, some campuses did not report company formation based on the execution of letters of intent. 1. Year of startup company formation based on the execution date of the first license, option or letter agreement. Startup companies formed with inventors from more than one campus are reported multiple times in this exhibit. A technology transfer agreement such as a license, an option or a letter of intent can be significant in spurring formation of new startup companies, with invention rights providing an asset that is highly attractive to venture capitalists and angel investors. In the case of startups involving UC technologies, inventors also frequently play a critical role in founding the company. Furthermore, several UC campuses have programs for facilitating new company formation. Since 1976, transfer of UC inventions has played a role in the founding of nearly 600 startup companies. Exhibit 19 shows recent startup company formation involving UC inventions, with 58 UC startup companies formed in FY11. Although this figure decreased 22.7% from the 75 UC startup companies formed in FY10, the 58 companies formed in FY11 remained well above the 10-year running average. Furthermore, the 10-year running average of UC startup companies formed continued to increase. Exhibit 20 shows FY11 startup company formation by campus, with UCLA accounting for nearly one-third of FY11 s activity. Startups based on UC technologies play an important role in California s economy, especially in biotechnology. A 2003 study of California s biotech firms found that UC scientists founded one-third of them and that one-fourth of all biotech firms in the U.S. are located within 35 miles of a UC campus.* The map on the next page shows the locations of UC campuses and of the 44 California-based UC startups that were formed in FY11. Of these 44 startup companies, 43 of them (97.7%) were located within 35 miles of a UC campus, and 41 of them (93.2%) were within 20 miles. * Yarkin, C., & Murray, A. (2003).

Total licensing income consists of two components: royalty and fee income, and patent/legal reimbursements. 2. The total licensing income reported for FY08 ($128.4 million) does not include up-front payments and reimbursements of $42.6 million from the settlement of litigation. 3. The total licensing income reported for FY09 ($121.4 million) does not include up-front payments and reimbursements of $4.6 million from the settlement of litigation. 4. Since the $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income in FY11 is an extraordinary event, it is shown apart from other royalty and fee income as a separate component in this exhibit. Total Income from Licensing Total income from licensing for UC s campus inventions the income the University receives from its technology agreements with industry was $202.2 million in FY11 (Exhibit 21). This FY11 total licensing income represents a 61.4% increase over FY10 total licensing income; the FY11 total includes an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income for a UC Berkeley invention, Immune Activator for Treating Cancer. There are two components of total licensing income. The royalty and fee income component includes: agreement issue fees, maintenance fees and other milestone payments received on specific dates or at specific points in the product development process. These payments encourage companies to diligently pursue product commercialization. Generally, earned royalties account for the largest portion of royalty and fee income and are received once products and processes using UC inventions reach the marketplace. Because of the extraordinary nature of the prepayment of future royalty income for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention in FY11, it is shown separately in yellow from other royalty and fee income in Exhibit 21. Reimbursements, the second component of total licensing income, represent the recovery of patent and legal expenses. 18 Innovation Alliances and Services

The total licensing income reported for UC Berkeley includes an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income. 3. Total licensing income, primarily from a portfolio of IAS-managed DOE Laboratory inventions, most disclosed prior to the establishment of the Laboratory-based licensing offices. UCSF $32,396 Other 3 $4,876 In the case of pharmaceutical and medical device inventions, successful commercialization requires completion of a lengthy multi-stage process for securing regulatory approval of a licensee s products from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Thus, the introduction of a new FDA-approved product into the marketplace is a significant event. In March of 2011, the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention achieved this status with the FDA s approval of Bristol-Myer Squibb s YERVOY for the treatment of late-stage metastatic melanoma.* This invention also ranked among the top earning UC inventions of FY11 as noted in the next section. Exhibit 22 shows the amount each campus contributed to FY11 total licensing income. Because of the large prepayment of future royalty income, UC Berkeley s contribution to total licensing income rose from $6.8 million in FY10 to $95.3 million in FY11. Other campuses with increases from FY10 to FY11 were UC Davis ($10.4 million to $11.1 million), UC Irvine ($5.3 million to $7.4 million), UC Riverside ($3.6 million to $6.1 million), UC Santa Barbara ($4.3 million to $5.3 million), and UC San Francisco ($29.1 million to $32.4 million). * YERVOY is a trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb. Annual Report

22 Technology Transfer Activity and Financial Information Royalty and Fee Income Royalty and fee income for campus inventions in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, was $182.0 million, which was derived from 1,873 inventions. This income included an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention. As compared to FY10, royalty and fee income increased by $77.6 million. In FY11, $18,617 was realized from the sale of equity previously acquired under nine license agreements. Because of these transactions and the approval of 17 agreements in FY11 that included equity as partial consideration, at the end of the fiscal year UC held equity related to technology transfer activities in 122 companies. Royalty and fee income from the top five commercialized UC inventions (i.e., inventions that had reached the marketplace) contributed $123.2 million in FY11, accounting for 67.7% of total royalty and fee income (Exhibit 23). The top 25 inventions collectively accounted for $155.4 million or 85.3% of total royalties and fees. Inventions appearing on this list for the first time include Immune Activator for Treating Cancer from UC Berkeley, Barrier Repair Lipids from UC San Francisco, San Andreas Strawberry from UC Davis, and Diagnostics for Gastrointestinal Disorders from UCLA. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, LBNL-managed inventions generated $2.3 million in royalty and fee income for licenses that are under the patent policy, an increase of 18.7% over the prior year. Copyright income for LBNL increased 95.1% from $689,000 to $1.34 million as compared with FY10 (Exhibit 33).

23 Exhibit 24: Payments to Joint Holders 1 (Millions) $8 $7.8 6 $6.1 $6.2 $5.6 $ FY07 2 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 1. Payments to joint-holders related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices. 2. The payments to joint holders reported for FY07 ($4.3 million) do not include payments of $0.5 million for the settlement of litigation. Payments to Joint Holders When an invention results from collaboration between UC and non-uc researchers, multiple entities may become joint holders of the invention-related patents. In these instances, interinstitutional agreements are often negotiated to establish which entity will manage the patenting and licensing of the invention and the collection and distribution of invention income; such collaborations are relatively common. In FY11, 257 of 1,581 new campus disclosures (16.3%) included non-uc inventors and 76 new interinstitutional agreements were signed, an 11.8% increase over FY10. In FY11, $7.8 million was redistributed to other entities for campus inventions covered by interinstitutional and other income-sharing agreements. For financial reporting purposes, these monies are treated as an offset to income. As shown in Exhibit 24, these redistributions increased from FY10 to FY11 by $2.2 million. Income Associated with Patent/Legal Expenses Because inventions are highly technical, UC uses specialized outside attorneys to draft and secure patent protection both in the U.S. and abroad. Costs to secure, maintain and protect patent rights associated with an invention are substantial. Obtaining a licensee s commitment to reimburse these costs is a high priority objective of license negotiations, and reimbursements, therefore, are considered part of total licensing income. In FY11, UC received $20.1 million in patent/legal expense reimbursements related to campus inventions. This is a decrease of 3.4% from reimbursements received for such expenses in FY10.

The gross and net legal and other direct expenses reported for FY08 do not include $5.8 million in gross legal expenses and $5.2 million in net legal expenses for the settlement of litigation. 3. The gross and net legal and other direct expenses reported for FY09 do not include a credit of $0.9 million against gross legal expenses and do not include $1.2 million in net legal expenses for the settlement of litigation. 4. The gross and net legal and other direct expenses reported for FY11 do not include $1.3 million in gross and net legal and other direct expenses associated with an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income. Legal and Other Direct Expenses Gross legal and other direct expenses totaled $28.5 million in FY11 for campus inventions (Exhibit 25), excluding $1.3 million in extraordinary expenses associated with the prepayment of future royalty income for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention. Most technology transfer legal expenses are associated with patent prosecution and maintenance, defined as payments to outside counsel for drafting patent applications as well as other costs for securing and maintaining patent protection for UC inventions. Other major categories of legal expenses include those for patent interference proceedings, enforcement of patent rights against infringement, and defense against litigation in civil proceedings. The extent of reimbursement of legal and other direct expenses is a negotiated term of a license agreement. In FY11, reimbursements of legal expenses for campus inventions totaled $20.1 million, resulting in net legal and other direct expenses of $8.3 million (Exhibit 25) when excluding extraordinary expenses for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention. These reimbursements covered 70.8% of gross legal and other direct expenses when excluding extraordinary expenses for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention. 22 Innovation Alliances and Services

Net legal and other direct expenses related to inventions managed by IAS and by the campus offices. 2. Net legal and other direct expenses associated with an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income. Exhibit 26 provides a breakdown of FY11 net legal and other direct expenses by different categories of expenditure, including the extraordinary expense. Patent prosecution and maintenance accounted for $7.4 million of net legal and other direct expenditures (77.2%), while the $1.3 million in expenses associated with the prepayment of future royalties accounted for a 13.8% share. Legal defense expenditures accounted for $0.2 million (2.0%), interference and infringement actions accounted for $0.2 million (1.9%), and other direct expenses accounted for $0.5 million (5.1%). As was the case in FY10, patent prosecution activities accounted for a relatively large percentage of net legal and other direct expenditures in FY11, reflecting the relatively greater reductions in expenditures that have occurred in other expenditure categories since FY07. It is anticipated that UC s licensing personnel will continue to be successful in negotiating reimbursement of a substantial amount of patent costs. Nonetheless, it is expected that there will continue to be significant legal and other direct expenses associated with patenting and litigation as the technology transfer program matures, patent activities continue to accelerate and relationships with inventors, sponsors and licensees become increasingly complex. Information on LBNL patenting and licensing expenses is not provided in this report. In-house patent expenses and operating expenses related to the licensing function are allowable costs under UC s current contract with DOE and are not readily separable from other LBNL expenses.

The distributions reported for FY08 do not include a general fund distribution of $6.0 million, inventor share distributions of $12.9 million or income after mandatory distributions of $18.0 million related to the settlement of litigation. 3. The distributions reported for FY09 do not include a general fund distribution of $0.8 million, inventor share distributions of $2.3 million or income after mandatory distributions of $2.4 million related to the settlement of litigation. 4. The distributions reported for FY11 are shown without (left half-column) and with (right half-column) $86.2 million in distributions arising from an $87.5 million prepayment of future royalty income The income derived from royalties and fees, less the sum of payments to joint holders and less net legal and other direct expenses, is distributed in various shares as required under UC and campus policies. In FY11, income distributions related to campus inventions totaled $164.6 million, distributed as shown in Exhibit 27. A total of $86.2 million of these income distributions arose from the prepayment of future royalty income for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention, with the balance of $78.4 million in income distributions coming from all other inventions. Inventor Shares UC Patent Policy grants inventors the right to receive a portion of net income accruing to individual inventions. In FY11, 2,153 inventors received a total of $54.1 million for IAS- and campusmanaged inventions, including $14.2 million for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention and $39.9 million for all other inventions. Under current policy, inventors receive 35% of net invention income. Inventor shares are calculated based on invention income and expense activity through the close of the prior fiscal year. Thus, most of the inventor shares distributed in FY11 were calculated based on invention financial activity through June 30, Trends related to the amount of inventor share payments are reflected in Exhibit Innovation Alliances and Services

27 General Fund Share The portion of UC s technology transfer income allocated to the UC General Fund totaled $27.2 million in FY11 (Exhibit 27), including an allocation of $18.0 million from the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer s income and an allocation of $9.2 million from all other inventions. The General Fund share is equal to 25% of the amount remaining after deducting payments to joint holders, net expenses and inventor share payments from royalty and fee income. Research Allocation Share The 1997 Patent Policy requires that for inventions disclosed on or after October 1, 1997 by inventors subject to this policy, 15% of net royalty and fee income from each invention be designated for research-related purposes on the campus or Laboratory where the inventor worked at the time the invention was disclosed. The research allocation for campus-related inventions totaled $4.5 million in FY11 (Exhibit 27). Income after Mandatory Distributions All income derived from royalties and fees remaining after deductions for payments to joint holders, net legal and direct expenses, and other distributions, is available to the campuses subject to certain other campus-specific debits and credits for patent-related activities (not shown). This category combines expenditures that Annual Reports prior to FY07 showed separately as Operating Expense and Campus Share distributions. Income after mandatory distributions totaled $78.4 million in FY11 (Exhibit 27), including $54.0 million after mandatory distributions for the Immune Activator for Treating Cancer invention and $24.8 million after mandatory distributions for all other inventions.
