Copyright Licence for Engineering Firms

In the engineering industry – where exchanging information about technological, construction and research advances is critical – it’s easy to breach copyright laws by inadvertently copying and sharing content without permission.

Most literary works are covered by copyright. If your employees copy and share text, tables, graphs or images that were created by others, they’ll usually need permission from the copyright owner to do so. This includes content from:

  • Journal articles
  • Industry data and papers
  • Newspaper and magazine articles.

Our Copyright Licence for Engineering Firms gives your employees the freedom to legally copy and share third party literary content. As we pay royalties to the creators whose works you reuse, you’ll foster the creation of new content which will benefit your organisation in the future.

 

Copy and share global content

Specifically tailored to your industry, our Copyright Licence for Banks and Financial Institutions gives you the right to copy and share hard copy and digital content*, including:

  • Key engineering journals from publishers such as ASCE, ICE, Geological Society Publishing House and Canadian Science Publishing
  • Newspapers and magazines from around the world
  • Plus graphs, tables, research papers, broker reports, market research data, competitive analysis and more.*

Knowledge Services Coordinator, Research, Library and Information Services, GHD
