Q. According to SUNY’s copyright policy, under what circumstances does ownership of materials produced and works authored by SUNY faculty/staff NOT vest in the faculty/staff but instead in the University? Can you please give examples?

Ownership of copyright in work-for-hire that is the subject of a written “contractual arrangement” under SUNY’s policy may vest in SUNY or faculty/staff depending on the agreements of the parties as reflected in the written contractual arrangement.
