BIRAD publishes its binding commercialization principles and its full standard license agreements — uniform, pre-published terms for every deal, in accordance with the national Memorandum of Understanding on technology transfer.
Published in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding on commercialization and knowledge transfer between the Ministry of Finance (Budget Department), the Association of University Heads (VERA) and the Planning and Budgeting Committee (VATAT), May 2026.
Every agreement BIRAD signs under these tracks follows the published form. The binding economic values are set out below, by track and by Standard Set; the complete legal documents are available for download. Deviations from the published form may be requested only by the company or by the inventors, and are recorded transparently in the agreement itself.
Each agreement is classified at signing into one of three published sets. The classification is based on the nature of the licensed products themselves — not on business forecasts or the founders' estimates of time-to-market:
Applies only where all licensed products, services and uses are digital-only — software, SaaS, applications, cloud platforms, algorithms, AI models and data products — with no regulated product and no dedicated physical element.
Applies in any other case — engineering and hardware, materials and chemistry, non-regulated devices, research-use biology, and digital products that are part of a new dedicated device or require dedicated hardware.
Applies where the license includes at least one regulated product — any product whose marketing requires product-specific regulatory approval in Israel, the US or the EU: pharma and biotech, medical devices, clinical diagnostics and medical software. A single regulated product places the entire agreement in the Long set.
The Standard Set is determined by BIRAD alone under the published Classification Schedule, on a product-by-product basis, with the highest classification applying to the agreement as a whole. It is documented in a Classification Record delivered before signing, is fixed for the term, and is not subject to negotiation. The labels Fast, Medium and Long identify the applicable economic set only — they are not a representation or estimate of actual time to market.
Applies to the formation of new companies based on Bar-Ilan technology. No university equity; a fixed, non-dilutable exit fee.
