Curriculum Resources Research Outputs Learning Software
Faculty and other eligible
authors own the copyright to the
extent such material constitute
pedagogical or scholarly
works the university asserts a
nonexclusive right to make use of
curriculum resources, regardless
of copyright ownership. Copyright
ownership for curriculum materials
is often tied to the amount
and extent of resources the
university has provided for their
creation. The default for copyright
ownership of curriculum materials
also varies by department at the
discretion of that department’s
administrators.
Ownership will depend on
the nature of the output (data,
copyright works, patentable
works, etc.) and specific
circumstances under which it is
created.
University generally owns software
if it is either patentable or has
commercial value.
