Assess UW Interest

The University has an interest in works

• Funded by the University
• Subject to a contractual arrangement
• Developed with substantial resources

If the University has an interest in the work due to special circumstances or contractual agreements governing the creation of a work, rights may need to be consolidated with the University. When you are starting a project, you should assess if the University will have any interest in your work.

A discussion of when the University has an interest in a work can be found in the UW Owned Works section. You may also want to refer to the UW Copyright Policy.
