Who owns the intellectual property published on the UNU OCW Web site?
Prior to making any course materials publicly available, the UNU OCW team has reviewed all material extensively to determine the correct ownership of the material and obtain the appropriate licenses to make the material openly available on the Web. We will promptly remove any material that is determined to be infringing on the rights of others [See also What do I do if I believe a portion of UNU OCW material infringes my copyright?]. The intellectual property policies created for UNU OCW are clear and consistent with other policies for scholarly materials used in education. Instructors retain ownership of most materials prepared for UNU OCW. UNU OCW retains ownership only when significant use has been made of the UNU’s resources. If student course work is placed on the UNU OCW site, then copyright in the work remains with the student.
