POLICY 4.12.8.4 - Externally-Sponsored Works


Whenever a third party sponsors a work created by, at or with the resources of the university, the university shall enter into a written agreement with such third party before the work is created. The agreement will set forth the ownership rights of any copyrightable or patentable works that are developed. To the extent possible, the university will share ownership rights in any resulting copyrightable works with the creator(s) of those works. If no provision for ownership has been made with respect to any externally sponsored copyrightable or patentable works, the university shall retain all rights to such works allowable under law.

The university will grant to the creator(s) of original works the right to publish in scholarly journals the results of their research and the right to perform their creative works if no compensation is received for the publishing and/or performance and this right has not been waived by written agreement.
