The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 allowed universities in the US to own and manage inventions obtained using federal funds. This Act laid the foundation for university technology transfer activities in most major research universities of the country. Consequently, the interaction between universities and industry has increased, and so has the sophistication in university intellectual property management. UIC's model for managing its intellectual property is efficient and successful, and is the one increasingly used by university technology transfer offices. The model deals with all aspects of UIC's intellectual property: disclosure, protection, marketing, negotiating and licensing, as well as intellectual property provisions in UIC's research agreements, material transfer agreements, option agreements, licensing agreements and others. In a pioneer effort, UIC has developed a policy on contracts for collecting natural product samples for drug discovery which includes royalty sharing and other important provisions. Accompanying this policy we have also drafted a standard contractual agreement for collectors.
1980年的《拜杜法案》允许美国的大学拥有和管理利用联邦资金获得的发明。该法案为美国大多数主要研究型大学的技术转让活动奠定了基础。因此，大学与产业界之间的互动增加了，大学知识产权管理也更加成熟。伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）的知识产权管理模式高效且成功，并且越来越多地被大学技术转让办公室所采用。该模式涉及UIC知识产权的各个方面：披露、保护、营销、谈判和许可，以及UIC研究协议、材料转让协议、期权协议、许可协议等中的知识产权条款。作为一项开创性的工作，UIC制定了一项关于为药物研发收集天然产物样本的合同政策，其中包括版税分享和其他重要条款。伴随这项政策，我们还为收集者起草了一份标准合同协议。
