Abstract:

Most research universities already have a set of coherent policies governing intellectual property subject to patent law, mainly developed since the mid 1970s. By contrast, universities have given little attention to intellectual property governed by copyright law even though copyrighted property is used intensively in the classroom, library, and laboratory. Faculty and others at the university create new copyrighted works in immense number each year. University presses build their business on copyrights. All this notwithstanding, university copyright policies are generally narrow, incomplete, and defensive in character. As such, they do not optimize the research, teaching, or service missions of universities.
