Copyright

Information for staff

Intellectual property generated by University staff in the course of or incidental to their employment is automatically owned by the University.

This is in accordance with legal principles governing employer-employee relationships. The position is further clarified in the University's Intellectual Property policy.

Information for students

The university does not automatically own intellectual property developed by students. Students will generally own the intellectual property they develop during the course of their studies.
