I think it has a lot to do with the sector. If Waterloo is software, that is something that goes to market quickly, so it makes sense for the IP to be residing with software. If you are dealing with pharma, MaRS Innovation has said they're only dealing with someone when the university and not the professors owns the patent, because they cannot take this and develop it and then have these issues.
Why do universities have different policies? It's because they have different sectors that they are dealing with. Tony and I are saying that's fine. I don't think you are going to get complete unification across universities.
What we want is more flexibility in the agreements so that there is better recognition of not paying out on milestone payments or on moneys up front, etc. There needs to be a change across the board in the culture of thinking, so as to have more flexibility in the legal arrangements.
