Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Minnesota
Over payment
I receive occasional royalties on a
patent from a University I used to
work at. I now received a payment
for substantially more money than is
typical, and I am not sure I am
entitled to this payment, or if it was a
mistake. Am I obligated to contact
them, clarify and return if I am not
entitled to the money? Or, can I just
cash the check and keep the money.

Re: Over payment
How much more? Was it accompanied by any documentation which clearly indicates error?
If not, sit tight.
