NARRATIVE/JUSTIFICATION FOR JUDGMENT OF COMPLIANCE
KCTCS Administrative Policy 3.3.5, Intellectual Property [1], establishes guidelines that define ownership of materials, compensation, copyright issues, and the use of revenue at the College. As a general policy, KCTCS and the College have exclusive ownership of inventions, patents, curricula, instructional devices, computer software, books, and other materials developed in whole or in part by faculty, staff, or students in the course of their regular employment (including paid sabbatical leaves) or through the use of college funds, facilities, or equipment. Any member of the faculty, staff, or student body who produces such intellectual property using college funds, facilities, or other resources shall assign personal rights to the property to KCTCS, but shall retain an interest in and a right to share in any financial returns from the commercialization of the property.
KCTCS Administrative Policy 3.3.5 also provides that traditional products of scholarly activity, such as journal articles, textbooks, reviews, monographs, works of art, sculpture, music, and course materials (such as syllabi, workbooks, and laboratory manuals), shall be the unrestricted property of the author.
A standing committee on intellectual property is appointed by the KCTCS President and includes the KCTCS legal counsel for review of any property rights in question.
