Research and development and technology transfer
Copyright
Another issue related to technology transfer is that associated with copyright protection laws. In particular, research has been conducted that focuses on copyright issues in an elecronic environment. Kahin (1988) for example, discusses copyright issues in the digital environment with respect to computer software copy licenses. Two models for copy licenses for the faculty examination of software are proposed. Kahin (1992b) also discusses intellectual property rights associated with software patents. Galvin and Mason (1991) discuss copyright law in the context of video and present legal- and library-related issues associated with video copyrighting including clarifications of the law for both users and copyright holders.
