and Copyright
Why is Copyright Important?
•
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (CDPA) 1988
•
What works are covered and for how long?
•
Permission is often needed, however there are some exceptions.
Consider the following when deciding what, if any, 3rd party materials to include in
your learning and teaching materials:
1. Do you have a licence to use it?
2. Do you have permission to use it?
3. Do you have an exception/defence under the CDPA 1988 to use it?
•
University staff must consider the implications of what materials they
place online
Resources and Copyright

• Newspapers (paper (NLA Licence) and online)

Ownership
•
S.11 CDPA 1988 states that the first owner of copyright in a work is usually the
author of that work. However, if created by an employee in the course of
his/her employment, then the employer is the owner (S.11(2)).
•
Check the T&C’s of your Contract of Employment to ascertain the exact
position, but generally presume that all materials are owned by the University.
•
The University will therefore normally be considered to be the publisher of
material produced by staff in their normal day to day activities.
Research and Publication
•
Externally funded contract terms may supersede your Contract of Employment
T&C’s.
•
Publishing agreements – copyright is usually assigned to the publisher, but this
can be open to negotiation. A useful site to check publishers’ standard terms is
