Synopsis

Avoid Costly Rights Clearance and Permissions Mistakes

Learn what you need to know to avoid and manage copyright infringement claims that arise from the publication of your book, article, or media project. In this book, intellectual property attorney Stephen E. Gillen covers the unique rights clearance and permission issues related to writing scholarly works:

• Attributing text and ideas borrowed from others
• Fair use
• Dealing with authorship credit
• Variations in rights-clearing strategies from field to field
• The upside-down business model of open access journal writing
• The non-exclusive rights reserved by some universities to the writings of their faculty
• Whether self-publishing affects the potential to publish traditionally in the future
• The variability in licensing models for open educational resources

You’ll also get practical pointers and guidelines, and more than a dozen templates you can use to request permissions and secure releases. Put 40 years of rights clearance and permissions experience on your bookshelf.
