Meaning of Ownership of Copyright Terms authorship and ownership are often confused Author refers to the person who created the work as opposed to someone who
contributed the idea of the work The owner of the copyright in a work is the person who has the exclusive rights to
exploit the work e.g. to use, copy, sell and make derivative works. Generally, copyright in a work initially belongs to the person who actually created it
i.e. the author, which will then be automatically transferred to the owner in thefollowing scenarios:
if the work was created by an employee as part of his job if the work was commissioned or specially ordered
Who owns the copyright in commissioned works? In Malaysia, by virtue of Section 26(2) of the Copyright 1987, the copyright to a
commissioned work is deemed to be transferred, in the absence of any agreement tothe contrary, from the author to the person who commissioned the work
Default position, e.g. where there is no contract or only a P.O. Terms can be varied by way of contract Important to examine all contracts for the creation of IP for this element
In most other countries, the creator owns the copyright in the commissioned work,while the person who commissioned it merely has a license to use
Need to be carful when going abroad Good idea to address copyright ownership issues in an agreement prior to
commissioning the external services

Entering into a Copyright and License / Assignment Agreements Before entering into a relationship involving the creation of a work, ensure that you are
clear on What rights you own in the work under the law, e.g. what are you contributing to the work Whether you need to own the copyright in the work Whether a license to the work would be more appropriate
Points to consider include: Whether or not you want to prevent unauthorized use Whether or not you want to license the work to others
Whether or not you want to re-use the work for other purposes in the future How much you want to pay to the author of the work
To ensure ownership of copyright, you may do the following: Sign a written agreement with the author of the work, specifically
acknowledging that copyright is transferred Not needed bearing in mind the default position in S. 26(2) of the Copyright Act 1987 Alternatively, you may agree to licensing the right to use with some type of moratorium
Depending on where you are, consider the necessity of obtaining: Confirmatory assignment documents immediately after completion of the work, specifically
naming the copyright work by title A waiver of moral rights Registering the work with the national copyright office (If available)

separately, then the work will be deemed to be collective In this case, each author owns the copyright in the part he/she created

arrangement, dramatization or motion picture version of a novel Making derivative works is an exclusive right of the copyright owner

owners permission e.g. the use of photographs on your website, the playing of the radio for the benefit of your
customers Even usage of a part of a work will require the owners consent The best way to avoid infringement is by obtaining express written permission of
the copyright owner before you use or exploit the work It is best to seek expert advice before negotiating terms and conditions of the
licensing arrangement with the owner of the copyright When permission is not needed
The content or material is not protected under copyright law e.g. if you are using facts or ideas and not the authors expression
The work is in the public domain The copyright on the work has expired The content or material is covered by the concepts of

The fair use guidelines as they appear in section107 of the federal law are listed below.
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which thereproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such ascriticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determiningwhether or not a particular use is fair: The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes The nature of the copyrighted work The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the
copyrighted work as a whole The effect of the use upon t he potential market for, or value of, the
copyrighted work (17 USC, http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html )

The four tests for fair use are difficult for laypeopleto understand. In order to help teachers better
understand which uses constituted fair usecongress came up with the fair use guidelines. One
