IP Policies Section 8 Waiver You could be asked to waive any moral rights you might have in copyright works which you create. (Remember you will not have any if the work is produced by you in the course of your employment). As a researcher, you could be asked for a blanket waiver by your institution in return for your institution agreeing to take reasonable steps to identify you as the author of a particular work. Obviously, if what you have created is a small part of a larger whole, it may be impractical to include you on the list of credits. Right to object You may want the right to object to significant amendments to a work that you have created in order to make sure, for example, that the amendments do not create inaccuracies. Where you are not the owner of the copyright in the material, if your institution does not agree to changes which you request, you may want to be able to ask your institution no longer to include you in the list of credits if you are unhappy with the amendments. Leaver Your institution's IP policy may clarify what will happen if you leave your institution and want to use academic materials that you have created during your time at your institution. You could be allowed to use certain extracts from your materials, but it is likely that each case would have to be examined on its own merits. If, for example, the relevant work had been materially updated by your previous institution, it is unlikely that it would grant you the right to use such materials. Check your institution's IP policy for clarification. 42
