POLICY 4.12.8.5 - Institutional Works


Institutional works shall include specific assignments that are “works-for-hire” under the United States Copyright Law, works created by staff employees in the performance of their jobs, works supported by a direct allocation of university funds or other resources for a specific university purpose and works commissioned by the university. Institutional works shall also include all copyrightable and patentable works under this policy where it is not possible to determine specific creatorship for the work, such as works developed over a significant period of time by multiple creators. Regarding institutional works, the policy described in paragraph 4.12.8.4  for externally sponsored works shall apply with the university recognized as both “external sponsor” and “university.” In addition, the creators of contributions to works developed over a significant period of time by multiple creators shall retain the right to use their contributions in their subsequent work, when their contributions can be identified.
