Precision in Patent Distributions:
SMU’s and Inventor’s Shares
IIA Impact on Inventor Distribution Setup in Sophia
Since the Inter-Institutional Agreement dictates the split between SMU and another Institution, the Inventor Distribution of royalties is defined by the other Institution for its inventors and by SMU for its own inventors.
In Sophia , the distribution attributed to SMU inventors must add up to 100% and the distribution to the external inventors from the other institution is set to 0% in Sophia because SMU does not dictate the percentage distribution for the inventors associated with the other institution.
The distribution table, below, illustrates how the SMU inventor distribution adds up to 100%, independently of whatever the external Institution distribution is set defined.
| Lead | Share | Name | Organization/School/Department | Title |
| ★ | 70% | SMU Lead Inventor | Electrical and Computer Engineering (Department) | Professor |
| 30% | SMU Inventor | Electrical and Computer Engineering (Department) | Graduate | |
| 0% | External Lead Inventor -1 | External Institution Name | Professor | |
| 0% | External Lead Inventor -2 | External Institution Name | Graduate |
