Intellectual Property

(effective 1/1/07)

Federal law states that the employer or other person for whom a work-for-hire is prepared will be considered the author for copyright purposes. Works-for-hire are works created by employees within the scope of their employment, and the documents created are the property of the University. The entire policy can be found in the Faculty Handbook on the Office of the Provost site. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the General Counsel at 617.349.8505.
