Intellectual Property: A Handbook for Employees of the Virginia Department of Transportation

Report No: 07-R3

Published in 2006

About the report:

Because intellectual property is a dynamic field of law, this handbook is neither a comprehensive guide nor an accurate predictor of legal developments. This handbook is merely an effort by the Virginia Transportation Research Council to provide VDOT employees guidance in addressing the intellectual property issues they may face during the scope of their employment. This handbook is not a substitute for professional legal advice. This handbook will be reviewed annually and revised periodically as warranted by changes in the law and governmental policy. This updated handbook is intended to replace the August 2005 edition. The organization of the handbook has been modified to focus on intellectual property issues related to VDOT.
