University lags in research patents
While other universities are earning large sums of money from research patents, the University of Washington has a $10 million fund, a KU official said this week.
Bob Bearse, associate vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, and who handles copyrights and patents for that firm, said that made little money from patents, maybe a couple of hundred dollars.
"To be honest we haven't been that aggressive," Bearsse said. "There are a couple of patents that are for money, and they are for money in the next couple of years."
searise said the University had a patent on an anti-cancer drug that could be a potential moneymaker during the next two years.
Stanford University earn $9.2 million last year from research grants in the U.S. States. A Stanford University official projected Stanford would make $11
Of the Big Eight schools that have released figures, the University of Colorado was the leader in patent filing, bringing more than $3 million in 1988.
By comparison, the University of Missouri received about $130,000 in patent money in 1988; Iowa State University received about $200,000.
Colorado leads among Big 8
Bearse said KU could make money indirectly through the Kansas University Endowment Association's interests in local research.
million in 1989.
The Endowment Association owns a 44 percent interest in Oread Laboratories Inc., 1501 Wakarusa Drive.
Oread Laboratories is the marketing company for research discoveries of the Center for BioAnalytical Research.
The center and the company were started in 1983 by Takeru Higuchi, an award-winning pharmaceutical
chemist at KU, to exploit commercial opportunities in pharmaceutical research.
George Stewart, vice president of the Endowment Association, said that Ourea Laboratories had not yet done anything big in terms of patents but that the Endowment Association would benefit if it did.
"Some other universities have reaped tremendous benefits from patents, so the potential is there," Stewart said.
Tom Patton, vice president of operations for Oread Laboratories, the company held several patents in the field. The Center for BioAnalytical Research.
"We have six patents issued, primarily in the area of bio-analytical chemistry," Patton said. "They have a lot of specializations realized yet, but we have high hopes."
'If Oread is successful in commer-
cializing these patents, which we think it will be, that will increase the value of the Endowment Association's stock."
Stewart said the Endowment Association used to administer several patients, but had transferred control to a new staff member and the patients were making little money.
"The actual amount of money we realized from the patents we held never even paid the patenting expenses." Stewart said.
The Endowment Association owned a portion of Inter-X. a pharmaceutical research company, but were bought out by Merck Sharp Dohme Research Laboratories in 1980.
Arnie Repta, executive director-research for the laboratories and president of Inter-X, said the company was looking for connections with KU since the buy out.
"The only way KU would make any money is if we used a patent licensed to them, which we are not doing." Repta said.
Bluebooks might get new warning covers
by Thom Clark Kansan staff writer
University Senate Executive Committee yesterday recommended that bookstores print on the covers of books written in present emphasizing academic integrity.
The statement approved by SenEx describes the need for students to observe the standards of conduct and academic integrity described in the Student Instruction document. The course warns that violating these principles could result in expulsion.
Dave Shulenburger, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, recommended the proposal.
Bob Hohn, professor of physical educational research and member of the Academic Procedures and Policies Committee, said similar statements had been printed on bluebooks at other universities.
University Council will consider the proposal in the next two weeks.
Shulenburger also said a new installment fee payment procedure would be out into effect in Fall 1992.
A first installment would be due two or three weeks before the first day of classes. The second billing for fall classes would be issued Sept. 15 with payments due Oct. 1. For spring classes, billings would be issued Feb.
15 with payments due March 1.
Students who fail to pay on time would automatically be dropped from their classes.
Shulenburger said the procedure had been proposed by the fees committee but was subject to the approval of Chancellor Gene A. Budig and Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor.
The faculty also elected 13 members and four alternates to the Faculty Senate Elizabeth Banks, associate professor of classics, Northern Virginia Gordon, associate professor of African and African-American studies.
Nai Tapier, associate professor of history, Arthur Drayton, professor of African and African-American student resources, African Symons, librarian were elected.
Michael Gaines, undergraduate director of biology, Frances Ingemann, professor of linguistics, Susan Kemper, professor of psychology, Roger Stoner assistant chairman of music, Thomas Beiseker, associate professor of communication, John Gronbuck-Tedesco, associate professor of theatre and film and Hobart Jackson, professor of architecture were also elected by 442 members of the University faculty.
