The presentation is entitled Copyright Ownership: Understanding NC State’s Copyright Ownership Regulation
Academic publishing and copyright are the topics of this presentation, for all who are or expect to be publishing papers, developing materials, and, generally, generating work that is understood as “intellectual property.” Understanding your rights and responsibilities as a copyright holder is the foundation for managing your copyright responsibly. Topics covered include copyright ownership principles, NC State’s Copyright Ownership Regulation, including the shop right, and the use of copyrighted materials here at the University.
