Organizations must ensure that employees use intellectual property responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with all legislation and other corporate-wide policies and contracts. Intellectual property may include photos, music, movies, written works, and software.
This template will help your organization ensure that it does not violate any copyright laws by enforcing, among other regulations, that:
- Software is not copied or shared with anyone.
- Software is installed by the IT team only.
- Employees do not install media on company owned machines unless the company owns rights to the media.
- Employees report software misuse to the IT manager immediately.
Establish an intellectual property use policy to reduce the occurrence of pirated property within your establishment.
