Universities, research institutions, and inventors usually wait years to realize the financial benefit of the intellectual property they have invented or helped to develop. Royalty interest financing is an avenue to obtain capital sooner by leveraging future product royalties to finance other investment opportunities and projects.

Reasons to Monetize a Royalty:

• Risk management/risk sharing
• Capital planning, including immediate cash infusion
• Manage conflicts of interest
• Portfolio diversification
• Institutional recognition for successful research
