harvard university, yale university are enormous. rces and they certainly harbor hundred affiliated entities in the larger harvard structure. hospitals tend to be very large and have multiple structures. this recognizes this modern development and the need for information about them. i want to say a few things about the complex structures. overlapping boards are not themselves a problem. they don't lead to the attribution of one entity's activities to other entities. sharing of staff if properly documented and paid for is not a problem. the problem is if one organization controls the daily operation of another. i want to talk about royalty income. there is uncertainty about what is a royalty but generally we know what a royalty is. it is a payment pursuant to the licensing of a rite of generally intangible property for a defined use. the irs and the courts have for unrelated purposes focused on the issue. isn't this kind of payment for the use of this right in intangible property or is it the provision of services? it is taxable. ther
