Distribution of Royalties from Microfilming Corporation of America

(22) On October 9, 1981, an agreement was executed between the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois and Microfilming Corporation of America ( M C A ) , Sanford, North Carolina, for the publication of the "Italians in Chicago Oral History Project" by Dominic Candeloro, former project director, Department of History, University Center, Chicago. Under the agreement, royalties are to be paid by the publisher to the University as "author." However, no consideration has been given to the internal distribution of the royalties. Under the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the University is authorized to assign proportionate shares of the net royalty income from copyrights owned by the University to the authors or developers of such works. The University Committee on Copyrightable Works has examined the question of royalty distribution in this instance and recommends that 50 percent of the royalties be assigned to Dominic Candeloro. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . S t o n e , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .

Design and Synthesis of Conformationally Rigid Replacement for Peptide Backbone Beta-bend — John L. Krstenansky, graduate student, medicinal chemistry, and Bruce L. Currie, associate professor of medicinal chemistry, Chicago campus, inventors. University Patents, Inc., has reported that it does not elect to subject this disclosure to the terms of the servicing agreement because of lack of adequate data to support patentability. As there is a publication bar in September 1983, U P I has released the invention to the University at this time. However, the inventors are conducting relevant tests; and the results should be known by August. The University Patent Committee has recommended that the University retain the invention during this testing period and, if warranted by the results of the tests, institute the filing of a patent application on the invention before the publication bar. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Stone, this recommendation was approved.
