Copyright and intellectual property issues are a part of the fabric of research and scholarly communications, and thus all Stanford faculty, students and staff need a working understanding of copyright law as it impacts their daily lives. The Copyright Reminder, which highlights common campus copyright concerns and outlines fundamental elements of US copyright law, is distributed annually to ensure that the Stanford community remains aware of those issues.

This section looks at common campus situations where copyright issues may arise. If you don’t find a case study that matches your situation, feel free to contact Lauren Schoenthaler in the General Counsel’s office at lks@stanford.edu.
