Copyright
Copyright is a nearly exclusive right
of an author to control the
distribution and reproduction of
his/her original works (see "Fair Use" below).
Copyright exists the moment a
work is first fixed in some tangible,
perceptible form.
Copyright protects the
expression of an idea, NOT the idea itself
Copyright Clearance Center (CCC)
- The CCC does not make photocopies.
- It conveys limited rights to
photocopy-users to make and
distribute their own copies.
- The CCC's address is 222 Rosewood
Dr., Danvers, MA 01923.
CCC Code
The CCC code is constructed as follows:
ISSN or Product Code/volume
year/$CCC fee
0741-3106/99/$17.00
Copyright Form
No other copyright form is acceptable.
Crown Copyright
Crown copyright is used only when an
author is (or ALL authors are)
employed by a Crown government (i.e.,
British or Canadian). If a paper falls
into the Crown copyright category,
then the IEEE copyright line is deleted
and the following wording is used instead:
©20xx Canadian [or British]
Crown Copyright
Fair Use
Fair Use refers to a set of ideas or
concepts intended to limit (under
specific circumstances) the
near-exclusive rights of the copyright
owner. However, because Fair Use is a
doctrine and not a fixed body of laws,
no generally applicable definition is available.
Infringement
Broadly, infringement occurs when a
work is reused without the
author's/owner's permission, regardless
of the fact that the reused work
includes full attribution to the
original author.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of using
someone else's work in such a way as
to make it appear as one's own.
Reprints
- Ask*IEEE sells single photocopies
of IEEE (and other publishers') material.
- The IEEE Reprints Department sells
reprints of IEEE material.
- Many people are interested in
making their own reprints or copies.
- All requests for permission to
reprint or otherwise reuse IEEE
material should be forwarded to
the IEEE Intellectual Property
Rights Office for response.
U.S. Government Work
The following notice should be used
only when an author is (or ALL authors
are) employed by the U.S. Government.
If a paper falls into the U.S.
Government copyright category, then
the IEEE copyright line is deleted and
the following wording is used instead:
U.S. Government Work Not
Protected by U.S. Copyright
The CCC code must not appear
with the above notice.
