What is the University's policy regarding copyright ownership?
The University's copyright policy is set forth in the University
of California Policy on Copyright Ownership, issued August
19, 1992. "Ownership of copyrights to scholarly/aesthetic works
shall reside with the designated academic appointee originator,
unless they are also sponsored works or contracted facilities
works, or unless the designated academic appointee agrees to
participate in a project which has special provisions on copyright
ownership..." (Section IV.A.). Under the policy, Independent
Academic Effort is defined as "inquiry, investigation, or research
carried out by designated academic appointees to advance knowledge
or the arts where the specific choice, content, course, and
direction of the effort is determined by the designated academic
appointee without direct assignment or supervision by the University"
(Section III.C.)
