DEFINITION

Copyright is a legal device that provides the owner the right to control how a creative work is used. A copyright is composed of a number of exclusive rights, including the right to make copies, authorize others to make copies, make derivative works, sell and market the work and perform the work. Any one of these rights can be sold separately through transfers of copyright ownership.
 
Permission is a license granting an author and his/her publisher certain nonexclusive rights to the material/content concerned. Typically, publishers will require that authors seek permission for content they have used in their works. What is being licensed in a permissions agreement is the re-use of copyrighted expression, not the ideas or data concerned.
 
Permission must be obtained for any re-use of copyrighted material that appears in the Evidence Analysis Library^©. Certain users always require permission. These include (but are not limited to):

• Inclusion of any substantial portion of work (i.e., one or more chapters of a book) for a college course (known as “coursepack”).
• Re-use of a table, box, or figure from the EAL in another work.
• Adapting a table, box, or figure from the EAL for use in another work.

PROCEDURES

1. All requests must be submitted in writing to the office by completing a Reprint Permissions Application.
2. Permission will be either granted or denied within 10 business days.
3. If a fee is assessed, an invoice will be generated and must be paid prior to use of the requested content.
