Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Illinois
Sale of Intellectual Propery
I created an undergrade degree program and have the copyright to it. An institution would like to purchase the rights to this program. Since I have not sold any IP before, is there a legal formula that is used to determine the value of the IP and the selling price?

This is a negotiated process. You need to hook up with a person or group who knows a significant amount about valuation of IP assets. There are a number of people in the Chicago area who can assist you with valuation and then have a patent attorney prepare a licensing agreement for you so that your assets are protected.
Good luck!
