8.11 Intellectual Property Committee and Intellectual Property Policy
This recommendation was considered in conjunction with recommendations from the Vice-Chancellor (Item A.4) and the Intellectual Property Committee (Item B.9).

Council noted that the Academic Board supported the recommendation from the Intellectual Property Committee that the University Intellectual Property policy be reviewed in the light of the concerns expressed by the Academic Board, and further noted that Academic Board had recommended that consideration be given to the replacement of those sections of the Intellectual Property Statute that deal with the ownership of intellectual property as it applies to copyright.

The Vice-Chancellor agreed with the need for a revision of the Statute, but stressed that the Statute must continue to provide two important safeguards for the University - that the University should have right of use of material which has come from its own academic staff in the course of its own educational programs, and that there should be a capacity to recover any substantial costs that had gone directly into the preparation or publication of material.

Council agreed in principle to a revision of the Intellectual Property Statute in such a manner as to safeguard these two issues, and provided they can be safeguarded, to allow authors to assign copyright to a publisher or enable copyright to be subject to licensing which might produce a significant income in return. The Vice-Chancellor foreshadowed the establishment of a small Working Group to draft a detailed policy statement to be brought forward to the September meeting of Council, after consideration by Academic Board, with the intention of amending the Statute accordingly. The Working Group would consist of the Vice-Chancellor, Dr John Emmerson QC, and Professor Sally Walker.
