Video recordings of lectures taught to or for UNA students are not considered Teaching Materials and are Assigned Tasks as provided for in Section 3. 2. OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS IN COPYRIGHTABLE WORKS UNA has and will assert its ownership interest in the following Works. a) Assigned Tasks. i) Created by Faculty Members and Doctoral Fellows in the scope of their assigned duties, except for Teaching Materials. UNA will own the copyright in Works created by faculty and doctoral fellows in the course of their assigned duties of employment where documentation of the employee's assignment explicitly states in writing that the Work will be owned by UNA. Examples may include copyrights in materials designed to promote UNA, materials created for administrative use within UNA, and other similar Works. ii) Created by UNA Staff, Students, or other personnel in the scope of their assigned duties. UNA will own the copyright in Works created by UNA staff, students and other personnel in the scope of their assigned duties, including duties as teaching or research assistants. b) Sponsored Agreements. Where a Work is developed by faculty, staff, doctoral fellows, students, or others engaged by or on behalf of the University in the course of sponsored research funded by an outside agency, company or other institution pursuant to a funding or sponsorship agreement approved by the appropriate university official(s), ownership of such Works will be determined by the applicable terms of the funding or sponsorship agreement. c) Patentable Works. Where a Work is also patentable, the UNA Patent Policy will apply to it, notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in this Policy. d) Works with Substantial Commitment of UNA Resources. When UNA makes substantial commitment of resources to a project, UNA is entitled to at least partial ownership of the Work. The specific definition of substantial commitment of UNA resources may vary on a case-by-case basis and should be determined in cooperation with the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs (PEVPAA) PEVPAA and relevant College Dean or supervisor prior to initiating the Work. If the determination of a substantial commitment of UNA resources is not made in advance of initiating the Work, or if circumstances change during creation of the Work such that a substantial commitment of UNA Resources was utilized, the creator will work together with the PEVPAA and the relevant College Dean or supervisor to determine the proper allocation of ownership and to document such determination in writing.
