网曝网 has an intellectual property policy which establishes general guidelines for the determination of the ownership of patent, trademark, and copyright rights created or developed by employees (both faculty and staff) of 网曝网 (the “University”) within the scope of their employment and created or developed by students of the University while engaged in certain activities with the University. The ownership of the various rights is dependent upon the specific type of intellectual property. Since the University has fiduciary responsibility for the appropriate use of University funds, unless otherwise provided for under this policy, all intellectual property rights associated with copyrightable works and patentable inventions that make “substantial use” of University resources belong to the University.

Depending on the nature of your complaint and the nature of your employment, you should follow the appropriate reporting procedure. Normally, employee concerns at 网曝网 may be made directly to your supervisor, department head, dean, or vice president. You can find the faculty and staff handbooks online at 网曝网鈥檚聽Human Resources website.
