Royalties vary depending upon the industry.
Certain industries have razor-thin margins, as you know, and others are more lucrative, so you can have larger royalty rates.
So it really depends on the industry what the royalties are.

It's a buyer's market in general.
If you step back and look at universities worldwide, they're producing more than 100,000 intellectual properties a year, and they have perhaps a million in inventory that have gone unsold or licensed.
So really, there's a big chasm between university IP and creating marketable technology.
And our job is to select properties, hopefully sagaciously, so we can help cross that chasm by adding value and making them ready to license or commercialize with large partners.

Our service revenue is up.

So the only time we'll actually go and get any additional capital is if there are opportunities that we want to sort of jump on that are beyond our current capital.
