      • In addition, there are a number of questions you should ask your institution's legal team in order to acquaint yourself with your institution's approach to IP and related issues:

          
           
        • Does your institution consider faculty teaching materials to be the property of the faculty member or of the institution?
        •  
        • What process does your institution want you to follow in your use of institution-owned content?
        •  
        • How concerned is your institution with its own branding and/or the appearance of endorsement?
        •  
        • What is your institution's stance on fair use in the classroom? Outside the classroom?
        •  
        • What types of legal language does your institution want you to use in license requests?
        •   
        • To what types of privacy laws is your institution subject?
    • Intellectual Property
    • 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.
    • The University shall retain all rights, title, and interest in any and all intellectual property generated, created, or developed in facilities operated or controlled by the University, supported by funds administered by the University, and/or performed in the course of regular duties by University members, unless exempted by other provisions of this policy.
    • Assigned duty is narrower than “scope of employment” and is a task or undertaking resulting from a specific request or direction. The general obligation for faculty to engage in research, scholarship, and teaching is not an assigned duty nor does it result in works “made for hire”.

    • Before going live with podcasts of any sort, college officials should make sure they have an intellectual-property policy that spells out, in clear terms, whether podcast lectures belong to professors or to their institutions.
    • Berkeley, for example, stipulates that all lecture content is the property of faculty members. But the MP3 files themselves are, according to the institution's policy, owned by the regents of the University of California system.
