Lyrica - the gift that keeps on giving

[k_amp_s]

<p>In 2008, NU received $824.4 million in licensing revenue - which amounts to over 1/3 of the $2.3 billion earned from licensing revenue for the 154 US institutions receiving such revenue.</p>

<p>

Only four institutions brought in more than $100 million in licensing revenues: Northwestern University ($824.4 million); University of California system ($146.3 million); Columbia University ($134.3 million); and New York University ($104.3 million). In addition to Northwestern and Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota ($84.7 million) was the only other Big Ten Conference institution in the top 10.

<p>Granted, the bulk of the $824.4 in revenue is from the sale of a portion of NU’s Lyrica royalties for $700 mil, but even $124.4 mil puts NU near the top.</p>
