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.
