568 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 8 who produce works for which ownership vests in the University pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall warrant that such works do not infringe any preexisting copyright. (c) Sponsored Works. A sponsor's right to use or own a work prepared under its sponsorship will be determined by the provisions of its contract with the University. (d) Licensing. As provided in paragraph ( b ) , copyrightable works developed by University staff or students using University resources usually and customarily provided (such as office space, library facilities, or regular salary) are owned by the authors. Such works need not be licensed to the University. Copyrightable works developed with use of University resources over and above those usually and customarily provided shall be owned by the authors but licensed to the University on a royalty-free basis for use in its internally administered programs of teaching, research and public service. All expenses incidental to such licensed use shall be borne by the University. (e) Copyright Registration and Notice. In general, only those Universityowned works which have an income potential or which the University intends to develop, use, or publicly circulate should be protected by copyright notice. Such copyright notice should be composed and affixed in accordance with United States Copyright Law. The responsibility for determining the need for copyright protection and recommending copyright registration of a University-owned work shall rest with the department head or supervisor where the work was prepared. Such recommendation shall be forwarded through the dean or equivalent officer to the office responsible for the registration of copyrights. The registration procedure for the University is a centrally administered responsibility, which may be delegated by the President. (f) Student Works. Unless subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) or provided otherwise by written agreement, copyrightable works prepared by students as part of the requirements for a University degree program are deemed to be the property of the student and are subject to the following provisions: (1) The original records of an investigation for a graduate thesis or dissertation are the property of the University but may be retained by the student at the discretion of the student's major department. (2) The University shall have, as a condition of the degree award, the royalty-free right to retain and use a limited number of copies of the thesis, together with the right to require its publication for archival use. (g) Administration. (1) University Press Publications. The University Press shall be responsible for copyright registration of works owned by the University and published by the Press, and for administering contracts with its authors. Such contracts shall define the rights and obligations of the author and the University, and shall be processed as are other University contracts. A copy of the printed agreement currently in use by the Press shall be made available upon request. (2) Other Copyrightable Works. The procedures and responsibilities for maintaining records for copyright registration, royalty collection and distribution, marketing, and such other actions as are appropriate, including, but not limited to assignment with respect to copyrightable works shall be established by the President.
