What you'll learn
- On 10 July 2025 ETH Zurich brought into force an equity and licensing policy under which it takes, as a rule, a 2% stake in every spin-off incorporated as a stock corporation, and publishes three standard licence options that trade up to two further percentage points of equity for lower royalties and sublicensing charges.
- At ETH Zurich and at the Technical University of Denmark, two European technical universities, a spin-out does not normally receive a single, unencumbered technology asset at incorporation.
