1.2 To ensure 涩里番collects and preserves, as a permanent record for the 涩里番Archive, 涩里番publications and other material of significance in the formation and operation of technical and vocational education.

2. Scope

This policy covers IP created by staff and students of CIT, 涩里番Solutions, and CIT's agents and related parties, and IP selected for inclusion in the 涩里番Archive.

3. Principles

3.1 涩里番owns institute intellectual property created by staff members in the course of their employment with 涩里番and 涩里番Solutions in both written and electronic form as set out in the Copyright Act 1968, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the staff member and delegate.

3.2 Students own the intellectual property they create in the course of their studies and/or research at CIT, except as otherwise agreed in writing. 涩里番will retain a copy of all student assessment items as set out in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.

3.3 Where issues arise in relation to the ownership of intellectual property the 涩里番Copyright Officer must be consulted.

3.4 All 涩里番intellectual property will include a 涩里番copyright notice, and be stored and retrievable from the approved 涩里番systems.

3.5 涩里番acknowledges moral rights granted to creators to be attributed for the work they have created. The creators of works in which 涩里番owns copyright will be attributed, unless:

1. the creator requests 涩里番not to attribute:
2. the creator agrees with 涩里番that it is not appropriate to be attributed: or
3. 涩里番considers that it is not reasonable to attribute the creator as set out in the Copyright Act 1968.

3.6 Staff of CIT, 涩里番Solutions and CIT's agents and related parties are authorised by agreement/ licence, by exceptions in the Copyright Act 1968 or by a statutory licence to use third party intellectual property and:

2. are responsible for ensuring that 涩里番does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others in the reproduction, adaptation and use of the material.

3.7 Development of intellectual property prepared for commercial sale or delivery that relies on the use of, or builds on third party intellectual property, must address in a written agreement, the ownership of, and rights to use the third party intellectual property.

3.8 涩里番staff must not sell or licence, or offer to sell or licence, any intellectual property created by 涩里番students, except where the student has first explicitly assigned 涩里番permission to do so, in writing.  If a third party approaches 涩里番staff regarding student intellectual property, that approach should be forwarded onto the student in a manner that does not involve providing the student's contact information to the third party.

3.9 All agreements relating to intellectual property must be in writing and address IP ownership including rights to pre-existing intellectual property and that are created as part of the agreement. The written agreement must be lodged with the delegate.

The National Copyright Unit (NCU) is CIT's designated representative for the scheme and is first point of contact for takedown notices. 涩里番will remove the copyright content from its systems within 2 days of receiving a takedown notice, and will issue a counter notice to allow 涩里番staff or students to contest the infringement claims.

3.12 The 涩里番Library maintains the 涩里番Archive that houses a collection of material selected and preserved for its retrospective value and ensures 涩里番meets its obligations under the Copyright Act 1968 and Territory Records Act 2002.
