How is technology sublicensed from an Alfred E. Mann Institute?
Upon satisfactory completion of a product or proto-product, an AMI may elect to partner with an existing company or an adequately financed and managed early stage company, or it may elect to collaborate in the creation of a start-up venture to pursue commercialization. If partnering is the preferred option, the terms and conditions must be deemed acceptable by the Institute and co-governing bodies. Licensing terms may include equity in the venture, in addition to licensing fees, milestone fees and/or royalties. The university, the AMI, the AEMFBE, and the inventor(s) will participate in these proceeds from commercial licensing.
