3. ASSIGNED DUTY
When a work is prepared by an employee within the scope of employment, under copyright law it is considered a 'work made for hire." Generally, the University will exercise ownership under the work made for hire rationale only when the employee was given an assignment to create the product whose ownership is in question. A FACULTY MEMBER'S GENERAL OBLIGATION TO PRODUCE SCHOLARLY WORKS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SUCH A UNIVERSITY ASSIGNMENT.
