问 HN：我的大学想要我所有的知识产权（博士生），我能做些什么？

我快要完成我的博士学位了。我为一种新型医疗设备奠定了基础，并且最近证明了它的可行性。这个设备是我自己的想法，我在攻读博士学位之前就提交给了学校。
现在，学校（在美国）声称拥有我所有的知识产权，因为我签署了一份知识产权协议，该协议在手册中被提及，而手册又在一份我入学时签署的文件中被提及。
问题是，学校在这期间几乎没有给我任何帮助。工资很低，他们没有给我办公室或实验室空间。我所做的一切都是在我自己家里的电脑上完成的。这个想法是我自己的，我的导师只是在不同时期为我提供了指导。我的导师实际上站在我这边，希望我拥有所有知识产权。学校声称拥有我的知识产权的原因是，我一半的工资来自学校的研究部门。
他们声称拥有所有知识产权，而我可以获得 40% 的版税。这实际上意味着我完蛋了。如果我不拥有知识产权，而且必须放弃 60% 的版税，我为什么要努力创业呢？
我知道他们的法律主张很强，但我有哪些选择呢？我对这项技术非常有信心，并且愿意尝试几乎任何事情。
* 开源所有内容，然后自己尝试单独申请设备专利？
* 尝试与技术转移办公室谈判（我不认为这会有好结果，他们没有给我任何东西的动力）。
* 退学，永远不发表我的论文？
我该怎么办？

I'm close to being finished with my PhD. I've created the foundations for new type of medical device, and I've recently proved that it works. This device was my own idea that I submitted to the university before even starting the PhD.<p>The university (this is in the USA) is now claiming all of my IP because of an intellectual policy agreement that was referenced in a handbook that was referenced in a paper I signed when I started.<p>The thing is, the University has given me so little during my time here. The pay is terrible, they've given me no office or lab space. Everything I've done has been on my own computers at home. The idea was mine and my advisor has only served to guide me at different times. My advisor is actually on my side wants me to have all the IP. The reason the university has a claim to my IP is because half of my salary comes from the research arm of the school.<p>They claim that they get all the IP and I can get 40% of the royalties. This effectively means I'm screwed. Why would I put the effort into starting a business when I don't own the IP and I have to give away 60% of the royalties?<p>I realize that their legal claim is strong, but what are my options here? I'm very confident in the technology and I'm willing to try almost anything.<p>- Open source everything and then try to patent a device separately on my own?<p>- Try to negotiate with the tech transfer office (I don't see this going well, they have no incentive to give me anything).<p>- Drop out and never publish my dissertation?<p>What should I do?
