  According to MIT Technology Licensing Office director Lita Nelsen, the key statistics are startups, which rose from 58 to 65 in that time; license and option deals, which held steady at 862; and patent applications, which dropped from 1,142 in 2004 to 1,109 in 2007.
  
  The income figures are based on patents filed about 10 years ago, and licensing deals done six to eight years ago, while the other figures hint at future income, she said. "In terms of running an office, we're much more concerned with new deals being done," she said.
  
  In fiscal 2008, MIT researchers filed for 282 patents, landed 132 license and option deals, and launched 20 startups, according to MIT's licensing office website. Those numbers are down from fiscal 2007 (321 patents filed, 173 license/option deals, 23 startups), but Nelsen said her office is mostly business as usual. "We're still getting deal flow, but everyone's got long faces," she said.
