Authorship
Agreement
In
consideration of my employment by
Carnegie Corporation of New York or
any of its commissions, task forces,
or other operating programs ("the
Corporation"), and my continued employment
during such time as the Corporation
and I agree, the Corporation and I
agree that:
A. The scope of my employment with
the Corporation includes the creation
and authorship of works of research
and scholarship relating to the dissemination
of knowledge, the promotion of peace
and education and the Corporation's
other purposes, and related areas
(collectively, the "Works").
B. The Works are subject to the Corporation's
internal review and editing process,
as to both form and content.
C. The Works are (and Works created
in the future will be) deemed to be
"works made for hire" within the meaning
of the U.S. Copyright Act. Accordingly,
the Corporation is (and will be) considered
to be the author of the Works and
the sole owner throughout the world
of the Works and of all copyrights
and other rights in the Works (the
"Rights").
D. I understand that, under any applicable
law, a Work may not be deemed to be
a "work made for hire" for the Corporation,
or the Corporation may not be deemed
to be the author of such Work and
the sole owner of such Work and all
Rights in such Work(s). I hereby assign
to the Corporation throughout the
world in perpetuity all of my Rights
in each such Work, and in any other
work created by me during the period
of my employment with the Corporation
either during working hours or with
the use of the Corporation's materials
or facilities.
E. I will, without charge to the Corporation
but at its expense, execute an assignment
of title to the Corporation and do
anything else reasonably necessary
to enable the Corporation to secure
a copyright or other form of protection
for any work assigned above anywhere
in the world.
F. The Corporation may, at its sole
option, assign or re-assign the Works,
and all Rights in any of the Works,
to the undersigned employee, on terms
and conditions determined by the Corporation.
G. In connection with any agreement
between the Corporation and any publisher
(the "Publisher") with respect to
the publication by such publisher
of any Work, I hereby grant to the
Corporation the right to grant to
the Publisher (and its assignees and
designees) the right to use my name,
portrait, likeness and biography in
connection with the exploitation of
such Work and the rights granted to
the Publisher by the Corporation.
H. In the event that a staff member
is considering authoring a Work that
could be considered to be a Work but
that the staff members feels should,
for a specified reason or because
of a particular circumstance, not
be a Work and consequently not be
covered by this Agreement, the staff
member must discuss the matter with
the President of the Corporation before
undertaking such Work or signing contracts
or agreements relating to the Work.
This discussion will also cover the
terms of the staff member's copyright
in such Work and any fees or other
remuneration that might be involved.
I. This agreement (1) is not a contract
of employment, (2) shall be governed
by the laws in effect in the state
of New York, and (3) shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the
Corporation and the undersigned employee
and their respective successors.
